JGOD says Warzone cheaters are ruining future tournaments for others YouTube: JGOD/ActivisionWarzone YouTuber JGOD believes cheaters and a lack of a true anti-cheat are going to take away the chance for some content creators to compete in tournaments and events moving forward. While Warzone has become one of the most popular games in the world, there are plenty of players that have turned away from the battle royale due to cheating. Raven Software have banned hundreds of thousands of accounts for cheating, as everything from god mode hacks to aimbots and wallhacks have been used in Warzone. For the most part, cheats were only being used in public matches and private tournaments were free of them. However, a number of cheaters have been exposed in recent events, causing some players to worry about the game’s competitive future. After Twitch streamer VAFundedDad was accused of using cheats in the KARNAGE Clan Clash, some Warzone fans questioned why tournament organizers weren’t vetting players beforehand. As one pointed out to JGOD, the streamer’s stats had seen a massive upturn recently, suggesting that something was amiss and cheats were likely being used. “The problem is that they ruin the opportunities for others going forward,” JGOD tweeted in reply. “I can name several creators that could use an opportunity like that. There will be fewer and fewer opportunities in the future without an anti-cheat.” The problem is that they ruin the opportunities for others going forward. I can name several creators that could use an opportunity like that. There will be fewer and fewer opportunities in the future without an anticheat. https://t.co/woBAA0LVNS — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) July 22, 2021 An anti-cheat has been sat atop many players’ wishlists over the last few months as the cheating problem has worsened. Raven and Activision have said that Warzone has an anti-cheat already, but they are looking to make changes. If the cheating continues in tournaments, it isn’t completely out of the question that smaller tournaments will be a thing of the past, while bigger things like the World Series of Warzone will likely be fine, given they’re backed by the devs.

JGOD runs Warzone FOV experiment to test the disadvantage for console players YouTube: JGODCall of Duty YouTuber JGOD has conducted an experiment comparing the FOV of console & PC players on Warzone and the results are astounding. Despite Warzone reaching its fifth season and players looking forward to the huge changes coming with Call of Duty: Vanguard, one topic continues to be discussed and has been since the game’s inception. We’re of course talking about FOV and the inability to change it on console. While some players claim the lack of a FOV slider on console is a minor inconvenience, others argue it’s holding them back in tournaments and overall play. To settle the debate, Warzone YouTuber JGOD decided to conduct his own experiment and compare players on both PC and console side by side. JGOD compares Warzone FOV between console & PC players The FOV debate in Warzone all revolves around the fact that console players cannot increase their FOV above 80, whereas PC players can change theirs to a maximum of 120. As a result of this, PC players are able to see significantly more on their screens compared to those on consoles, making it easier to spot enemies. In his experiment, JGOD spectated a set of console & PC streamers in the same tournament and synced up their perspectives so he could compare the exact differences between their point of view. He showcased that the PC players using 120 FOV could see almost twice as much as the console players, even showing some scenarios where it would have been impossible for a console player to spot an enemy. Topic starts at 6:25 After concluding his experiment, JGOD noted that Raven Software needs to add a FOV slider for consoles, even if it only gives them the ability to set it to 100. Despite this, he also mentioned that during a standard Warzone match it’s likely that it wouldn’t make too much of a difference for the majority of players. According to him, these changes are most important for Warzone console pros, as they should be on a level playing field with PC players. Finally, he also voiced that he thinks FOV is used as an excuse by everyday players a little too much, as the skill gap in normal Warzone matches will usually be leveled out. There’s been no indication from developers about an FOV slider for console players, but it’s definitely a glaring issue in competitive play. In an environment where a set of talented players are competing for a prize pool. it’s key no one is given any advantages, no matter what system they’re playing on.

JGOD reveals “zero recoil” M4 loadout pros use to dominate in Modern Warfare 2 ActivisonModern Warfare 2 expert JGOD has unveiled a long-range “no recoil” M4 build endorsed by Call of Duty pros. Dominating your opponents in Modern Warfare 2 requires a lot of skill, but it’s also significantly easier when you’re equipped with a top-tier loadout. Anyone can create a meta setup by experimenting with different guns and finding one that fits your playstyle, but sometimes it’s easier to let an expert do the thinking for you. That way, you can jump into a match and just focus on landing shots and refining your gun skills. Luckily, MW2 guru JGOD has been analyzing loadouts used by CoD pros and the “zero recoil” M4 is a setup you need to test out in one of your matches. Best long-range M4 loadout in Modern Warfare 2 Attachments Barrel: Hightower 20″ Barrel – Muzzle: FTAC Castle Comp – Underbarrel: PHASE-3 Grip – Rear Grip: Sakin ZX Grip – Stock: Demo Precision Elite Factory – During a recent video, JGOD covered all of the loadouts pros are using to dominate their foes in MW2 and he highlighted the M4 as the long-range meta contender. The build they’re using effectively transforms the gun into a laser beam with “no recoil”, making it easy to land precise shots on enemies from afar. As it is so accurate, the setup doesn’t even require an optic as the iron sight on the weapon is suitable for all engagements. Not only that, it frees up another slot to bolster the M4’s kickback even more. This setup offers pinpoint control and a significant amount of damage, allowing you to shred through your opponent’s health bars with ease. Timestamp of 6:47 Keep in mind, this loadout is a relatively slow setup when it comes to ADS time and overall mobility. This definitely isn’t a run-and-gun class and performs best when you’re posted up in an area or holding down an objective. If you’d like to boost the speed of the loadout slightly, we recommend running a laser. This will give you the chance to snap onto your targets a little quicker, but will also increase recoil, so alter this depending on your playstyle.

JGOD reveals why you are playing Warzone 2 matches on Vondel wrong ActivisionIf you can’t beat them, join them. JGOD revealed the best way to deal with rooftop campers on Warzone 2’s new map Vondel. Vondel joined Warzone 2’s growing map pool in Season 4. Modern Warfare 2’s peak player count in June was 113,002, up 10% from April when the peak player count was just 102,040. It’s impossible to say for sure what that growth stems from, but Vondel and a free multiplayer weekend certainly contributed. The battle royale sequel’s latest map has received praise from community members but also hasn’t escaped criticism. Players bashed “busted” in-game water mechanics that plague Vondel matches and called out the developers for ruining the maps’ aesthetic with fog. Like other urban environments in FPS titles, Vondel also suffers from players camping on top of the city’s rooftops. Fortunately, JGOD revealed an easy solution to the problem. JGOD reveals common mistake made by Warzone 2 players on Vondel JGOD claimed: “The ground is essentially lava” on Vondel. Just like the game we all used to play as kids, jumping around on furniture to avoid the floor. The YouTuber applied that same principle to how squads should approach matches on Vondel. “Once you realize that the map plays better that way, then you realize that not everyone is camping on the rooftop, they are just playing the map the right way, and you have probably been playing it wrong.” JGOD added: “You shouldn’t really be on the ground all that often. It doesn’t make practical sense.” Going from rooftop to rooftop doesn’t come without inherent risks. JGOD acknowledged that players must always be aware of their surroundings while jumping from roof to roof if they don’t want to be caught off guard. Some snipers still one-shot kill in Warzone, so if you see the glint of scope in the distance, the best thing to do is get behind cover and reposition. It’s also always important to carry a reliable short-range meta weapon while up top, as there are plenty of opportunities for up close and personal engagements.

JGOD reveals why Vargo 52 still dominates in Warzone despite Season 3 nerf ActivisionWarzone expert and YouTuber JGOD has explained why the Vargo 52 is still an incredibly strong choice in CoD’s battle royale, despite the Black Ops Cold War AR being nerfed with the Season 3 update. As has become standard practice with Warzone, the seasonal updates provide the most scope for meta shifts and game balancing. That proved true on April 27 when the Season 3 update dropped, bringing major changes to both Caldera and the game’s weapon pool. The majority of snipers were weakened considerably and other weapons, like the Black Ops Cold War Vargo 52, were also on the end of nerfs. However, Warzone guru JGOD has now waded into the Vargo 52 discussion, claiming that the nerf is basically nonexistent. In an April 29 YouTube video, he explained that the nerf may actually constitute as a buff because of how it has affected the Black Ops Cold War AR. Referring to the Vargo’s nerf with air quotes, JGOD said: “I say ‘nerf’ because all they did is modify the recoil pattern which, personally for me, I feel like it’s a little bit easier to control.” Recoil in Warzone tends to be a mix of vertical and horizontal but, when a weapon’s kick sways more towards one than the other, it can actually be easier to control because the aim only has to be pulled in one direction. That, in JGOD’s opinion, is what has happened to the Vargo. JGOD’s best Vargo 52 Warzone build for Season 3 After explaining why the nerf might not be as it seems, JGOD outlined his go-to loadout following the Season 3 update. It’s fairly standard, seeking to improve its range and magazine size whilst also managing recoil. Muzzle: Gru Suppressor – Barrel: 18.6″ Task Force – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Grip – Magazine: 60 Round Mag – The Vargo could yet be in for more nerfs depending on how Season 3 develops but, for now, it remains a very strong option at medium to longer ranges.

JGOD reveals why grinding Vanguard weapons will be fastest on PS4 & PS5 Pexels / ActivisionCall of Duty players on PlayStation have an edge when it comes to leveling up new Vanguard weapons. As pointed out by JGOD, anyone with access to a PS4 or PS5 should use the consoles to grind their guns for Warzone and Vanguard. Call of Duty and PlayStation’s relationship has caused drama in the past. Just last year, Black Ops Cold War players were “outraged” about the game’s PS-exclusive perks. Now, popular Warzone and CoD analyst JGOD is reminding people of those perks for Vanguard’s release as well. Despite owning a high-performance PC, the YouTuber explained that he’ll be grinding his new Vanguard weapons on PS4 Pro. With the new CoD 2021 title releasing on November 5, people will be excited to get their weapons humming. If you want the fastest way to do so, try getting access to a PlayStation. Vanguard guns level fastest on PS4 and PS5 For Vanguard I will likely be grinding on PS4 Pro to level weapons since they get an extra 25% weapon xp while in a Party vs Playing on my PC. 4 Hours down to 3 just by switch platform. SMH — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) November 1, 2021 As JGOD mentions, PlayStation users get a “25% weapon XP” bonus when playing in a party. That’s fairly substantial, as he elaborates that opting for the console would let him do four hours of leveling in just three. Since the majority of Warzone and Call of Duty players are on console, many should be able to enjoy these advantages. But, since many are on Xbox and most streamers and Call of Duty League pros are on PC, they might miss out on that 25% bonus. If you’re someone who plays on PC but has access to a PS4 or PS5, then a drop in performance might be well worth it for grinding weapons. While Warzone’s Vanguard integration won’t be coming until December, you can get a headstart for multiplayer and Pacific, Caldera by powering on the consoles.

JGOD reveals which one-shot sniper to avoid in Warzone 2 Season 3 ActivisionSeason 3 added one-shot kill capability to three sniper rifles in Warzone 2, and JGOD revealed which one to avoid. Sniper rifles are finally relevant again in Warzone 2’s meta. For the first few months of the battle royale sequel, LMGS and ARs reigned supreme for long-range engagements because sniper rifles couldn’t one-shot kill enemies as they once did in Warzone 1. Season 3 returned the forgotten class back to its former glory. By equipping explosive ammunition, the MCPR-300, Victus XMR, and FJX Imperium can now one-shot kill enemies with a headshot. However, the change is a double-edged sword as the ammunition type increases damage range by a whopping 40% but also decreases bullet velocity by 40%. Lower bullet velocity makes it much harder to hit enemies further away. With players needing to account for drastic bullet drops, choosing the best-one-shot sniper rifle can be a daunting task. JGOD dissuades players from using Victus XMR sniper rifle in Warzone 2 JGOD tested the MCPR-300, Victus XMR, and FJX and revealed which two weapons players should use. “After you look at these weapons pretty closely, it narrows down not necessarily which is the best, but which one is the worst out of the three to completely avoid.” The YouTuber compared the rate of fire, muzzle velocity, ADS time, magazine size, and reload speed for all three weapons. Most notably, the Victus XMR ranked worst in every category besides reload speed. JGOD compared bullet drops using explosive ammunition and concluded: “The Victus XMR is miserably low, so I think this crosses it out, and I would avoid using it at all costs.” As for which is best, the YouTuber argued it comes down to personal preference between the MCPR-300 and FJX Imperium. The MCPR has a slightly slower fire rate, but you don’t need to reload in between each shot, as you do with the FJX. The MCPR also has a larger magazine size of 10 compared to 5, so JGOD believes: “Overall, I think more people will gravitate towards the MCPR, with the exception of solos,” because a larger magazine is less important in solos. We have you covered if you need the perfect MCPR-300 or FJX Imperium loadouts.

JGOD reveals Warzone’s most underrated weapon in the current meta YouTube: JGOD/ActivisionCall of Duty content creator JGOD has revealed what he thinks is the most underrated weapon in Warzone that players need to pick up in the current meta. When it comes to picking a weapon in Warzone at the moment, the majority of players are going for the Kilo or the AMAX. Both ARs are incredibly versatile and can tear down enemies effectively at any range. Despite this, it can get boring using the same meta weapons over and over again, so it’s key you have other class setups that can compete with the top-tier choices. Well, after revealing the best SMG in Warzone, JGOD is back and has showcased what he thinks is the most underrated gun in the game. To the surprise of many, his pick isn’t an AR or even an SMG, it’s a hefty LMG. The most underrated weapon in Warzone While a lot of players are focusing on SMGs and ARs. it may be time for the LMG category to receive some attention. After analyzing each of the guns, JGOD has named the SA87 as the most underrated weapon in Warzone, and he has the stats to back it up. Not only does the SA87 have a manageable recoil pattern, but it also has the same TTK as the RAM-7 at over 53 meters, this makes it a perfect choice for long-range gunfights. On top of this, the LMG can do a significant amount of damage per mag, as it has an extra 15 bullets to work with compared to every single AR. To round off his video, JGOD even included an SA87 loadout for players to use while testing out the weapon on Verdansk. Attachments Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor – Optic: VLK 3.0x Optic – Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip – Laser: Tac Laser – Ammunition: 60 Round Mags – The loadout above focuses on bolstering the SA87’s recoil and allowing it to dominate in medium to long-range gunfights. It’s worth noting that this LMG doesn’t perform very well in close-range engagements. Therefore, it’s recommended you run Overkill and utilize an SMG of your choice alongside it. So, there you have it, that’s JGOD’s opinion on the most underrated weapon in Warzone. Consider checking out the SA87 and testing it on Verdansk with the loadout above.

JGOD reveals Warzone snipers he expects to dominate Season 3 meta Activision/YouTube: JGODWarzone’s most prolific expert JGOD has revealed which sniper rifles he expects to dominate the Season 3 meta, as the Kar98k and Swiss K31 meta guns are widely believed to be receiving sizable nerfs. For some months now, the Kar98 and Swiss have been among the most popular guns in Warzone, and every player knows the pain of hearing the Kar’s shrill ping nearby, knowing you’re about to be in trouble. They’re top-tier weapons, overpowered according to some players, and as such, nerfs are expected to be incoming for the Season 3 update on April 27. If you’re a keen sniper, though, JGOD thinks there might be a few more options of different sniper rifles ready to dominate the meta. Across both Rebirth Island and Caldera, sniper rifles can be one of the most powerful tools to any Warzone player, and if the main ones get nerfed, you can definitely expect others to take their place, just like how the AR or SMG meta is always changing. With players trying to figure out what might take over once the Season 3 update drops, JGOD has given his thoughts and predicted the three rifles that might dominate. Saying that he’s “ready for the meta shift,” JGOD tweeted his prediction for the AX-50 and HDR from Modern Warfare to return back into the meta after over two years, as well as the ZRG from Black Ops Cold War. Ready for the Meta Shift Thinking AX-50, ZRG, and HDR are the front Runners imo pic.twitter.com/hTtah4QXZN — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) April 26, 2022 These three are currently among some of the least-picked weapons in the game. This is especially true for the ZRG, which has never had its moment in the spotlight and, at the time of writing, has a pick ratio of just 0.13% according to WZRanked. The HDR and AX-50 are in slightly better standing, but they’re still a rare sight across any Warzone map. Whether JGOD’s predictions come true remains to be seen, but make sure you keep ahead of the action by finding out about everything coming in Warzone Season 3.

JGOD reveals Warzone SMG loadout to dethrone OTs 9 with Vanguard integration YouTube: JGODJGOD revealed which SMG loadout can dethrone the meta OTs 9 as players wait for the new Warzone update that will integrate Vanguard to the battle royale. With Season 1 of Vanguard, we will see the new Warzone map Caldera along with all the guns from the game. The Warzone close-range meta has been dominated by the OTs 9 for quite some time but things could change with the addition of new weapons. JGOD dives into the Vanguard submachine guns and breaks down which one can finally be the one to shake up the meta. JGOD reveals Type 100 SMG loadout to use in Warzone In his latest YouTube video, JGOD takes a look at all the Vanguard SMGs that are in the game and shows which one is the most broken right now. When taking a look at TTKs there is one that is above and beyond the best in the class. The Type 100 proves to be the fastest killing SMG in Vanguard. The Type 100 has an 85 TTK which is by far the fastest out of the SMGs in the game. While this was tested in multiplayer and not Warzone, the TTK is well quicker than the OTs 9 and could mean it will be extremely viable when the update comes out. However, JGOD highly recommends leveling up this weapon and shows the best loadout to get the best TTK for it in multiplayer. Muzzle: Mercury Silencer – Optic: Nydar Model 47 – Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop – Stock: Shiraishi T100 – Rear Grip: Stippled Grip – Magazine: .30 Russian Short 30 Rounds – Ammo Type: Lengthened – Proficiency: Vital – Kit: Quick – JGOD says that the biggest combo here is the .30 Russian Short 30 Rounds with Vital as this allows the gun to have the quickest TTK possible. He does mention that this could be nerfed by the release of Season 1 but if it’s not you’ll want to use this. It is important to note that these stats come from Vanguard Multiplayer and may be completely different in Warzone but he recommends having the Type 100 leveled up and ready to go for Season 1.

JGOD reveals Warzone graphics settings to make game look good & maintain FPS Activision / LGWarzone Pacific has many people struggling to find the perfect graphics settings. Fear no more, as JGOD has come through with a complete guide to make Caldera look good and run high FPS. The new era of Warzone has been filled with lots of graphics issues, especially on consoles. However, JGOD breaks down all of his settings and shows what is and isn’t essential to make the game run smoothly. Here’s a full rundown of JGOD’s in-game video settings to run high FPS at a good quality. JGOD Warzone graphics settings In his YouTube video, the Warzone master himself goes through all the essential settings for Caldera. Here are the key settings he highlighted that impact the way the game looks and runs: Fullscreen: On – Refresh Rate: Monitor Max – Render Resolution: Match monitor setting – Framerate Limit: Cap at refresh rate max – ADS Field of View: Affected – Texture Resolution: Low – Texture Filter Anisotropic: Normal – Particle Quality: High – Bullets Impacts & Sprays: On – On-demand Texture Streaming: Disabled – NVIDIA DLSS: Disabled – Anti-Aliasing: Off – World Motion Blur: Off – Weapon Motion Blur: Off – Shadow Map Resolution: Low – Cache Spot Shadows: Enabled – Cache Sun Shadows: Enabled – These are essential for making sure your game runs at a solid FPS. For making the game look better to the eyes, he recommends testing out the different colorblind filters Warzone offers and picking one that suits you. He also talks about using the NVIDIA Filters to help make your game look even cleaner and still run at a great FPS. Here are his NVIDIA settings: Sharpen: 33% – Clarity: 57% – HDR Toning: 25% – Bloom: 0% – Tint Color: 0% – Tint Intensity: 0% – Temperature: 0 – Vibrance: 56.8 – Exposure: 0% – Contrast: 9% – Highlights: 0% – Shadows: -40% – Gamma: 0% – These will increase the quality of the textures in-game and will not cause your FPS to drop. If you give these settings a try and they don’t work out for you then make sure to check out our best Warzone Season 1 video settings guide.

JGOD reveals Warzone Fennec buff made it a “hitscan” monster Activision/YouTube: JGODThe Season 5 update saw a number of weapon balancing changes and, with a couple of patches since, the Fennec has become an even more terrifying opponent in Verdansk. While the Fennec has never exactly been a meta pick in the Call of Duty battle royale title, it’s always been capable of ripping players to shreds. The high fire rate makes it dominant in 1v1 gunfights, providing you hit your shots. The main drawback has always been the low magazine capacities and lack of range on the Fennec, hindering it in team modes and in certain situations. But since it was buffed in the August 16 update, the Modern Warfare SMG looks pretty intimidating again, able to down enemies at range due to its insane bullet velocity. The patch notes state that the weapon’s bullet velocity was increased by 13.4%, with an aim to “make the Fennec viable at slightly further distances.” It’s fair to say that developers Raven achieved that goal. Posting a short clip to Twitter, Warzone guru JGOD simply asked “hitscan Fennec?” before showing his SMG ripping an opponent at range as they dropped in, with seemingly no bullet drop off. Here are the attachments he appears to be using in the clip embedded below. Though he hasn’t specifically revealed what they are, it looks as though these are as accurate as possible: Muzzle: ZLR Sabre – Barrel: ZR 16” Apex – Optic: VLK 3.0x optic – Underbarrel: Merc Foregrip – Ammunition: 40 Round Mags – We’ll make sure to update when JGOD officially reveals the attachments, but this looks spot on. It’s worth noting that the VLK 3.0x Optic isn’t necessarily a vital part of this loadout, too. While it’s definitely helpful for long-range fights, you could instead use a stock, for example, to improve mobility slightly and keep it close to a regular SMG build. So hop into Warzone and give it a go — we might be about to see a resurgence of the Fennec in the meta.

JGOD reveals Warzone attachment hidden ability to decrease ADS speed Activision / Apple / JGOdWarzone guru JGOD has done some secret stat digging and discovered that the On-Hand weapon attachment actually has a hidden ability that decreases your ADS speed. As one of the most trusted Warzone analysts in the community, JGOD is constantly finding new tactics that players can take advantage of. Whether it’s tips to level up weapons in a quick manner or building loadouts plenty of pro players use, his takes are respected by the community. His latest discovery could be the most ground-breaking as he’s revealed in a video that an attachment has hidden powers. JGOD shows Warzone attachment to lower ADS speed From his March 19 YouTube video, JGOD takes a look at the On-Hand attachment that Vanguard weapons have. While it says it increased equipment dexterity, it actually has a secret power. When using On-Hand players will receive a faster ADS team, despite the item not mentioning that it can do this. From his testing you can see that without it, he scopes in at 717 milliseconds. Now, with On-Hand equipped, his ADS speed goes down to 684 milliseconds. While it might not seem like a huge deal, this could actually mean life or death as enemies can live with one health. Also, since Warzone plans to nerf TTK by increasing the ADS time of all weapons, this could become a must-use attachment. JGOD says that this is definitely better to use over something like Fully Loaded since the 30 milliseconds will be noticeable after a hefty amount of games. He also thinks that there are a handful of other attachments in the game that give hidden stats but people just aren’t aware of it. So, he hopes in future updates that the descriptions get more in-depth to benefit the player base.

JGOD reveals Warzone 2 SMG that beats out the akimbo Basilisk ActivisionOn paper, Warzone 2’s best close-range meta weapon in Season 4 Reloaded is the Akimbo Basilisk. However, JGOD has made a case for the X13 Auto. Season 4 Reloaded drastically changes Warzone 2’s close and long-range meta. The devs adjusted every weapon’s damage profile to “emphasize accuracy in gunfights.” This change means some weapons are able to kill faster when fired more accurately, and vice-versa. Activision aimed to make each weapon class have the ability to stand on its own. But with any season update, a few weapons look more promising than others. Before players get too excited about the Akimbo Basilisk, JGOD downplayed its hype. What is the best close-range meta weapon in Warzone 2? JGOD used his own measuring method to determine the time-to-kill speeds for every close-range meta weapon after the Season 4 Reloaded. The Akimbo Basilisk ranked first with a 360 ms TTK, but JGOD argued that a few limitations hold it back from dominating every gunfight. “It only has five bullets in each of the guns, so you kind of are limited on how you want to challenge a gunfight. I think this one is a little more niche and gimmicky.” The YouTuber continued: “There are some versatility issues, especially from 15 meters. You would probably be better off with a more practical SMG or a single-fire pistol.” JGOD understands why some community members prefer the X13 Auto, as it offers more range and larger magazine size. The YouTuber’s data shows that the SMG has an average TTK of 520 ms, which could go down to 455 with headshots mixed in. Best X13 Auto loadout in Warzone 2 Season 4 Reloaded Here is JGOD’s X13 loadout with attachment tuning included. Muzzle: Corvus Series-D (-0.54, +0.28) – Barrel: Impact Point (+0.40, -0.25) – Stock: X13 Couchwhip Stock (-2.19, -1.16) – Rear Grip: Cronen Lima-6 (-0.77, -0.32) – Magazine: 50 Round Mag – JGOD urged players to try out the X13 Auto, as it could receive a nerf soon. “I think this is pretty broken at the moment and will probably get a hairline nerf of some kind.” Even if a “hairline” nerf does come, the X13 Auto should still be a force to be reckoned with in Warzone 2 Season 4 Reloaded.

JGOD reveals Warzone 2 one-shot sniper loadout with almost “no glint at all” ActivisonSniper rifles have returned to the peak of their power in Warzone 2, and JGOD revealed a loadout that makes the class even deadlier. Season 3 finally made sniper rifles relevant in Warzone 2. The update made it possible for bolt-action rifles to down fully armored players in one shot by equipping explosive ammunition. Sniper rifles immediately ascended in popularity. According to WZRanked, the MCPR-300 is the fifth most-used weapon, and the FJX Imperium isn’t far behind in seventh place. It’s almost rare to play a match on Al Mazrah or Ashika Island and not run into at least one enemy using a sniper. Thankfully, glint makes it easier to spot a sharpshooter before they are able to take you down. But what if it was possible to get rid of sniper glint? JGOD unearths a must use optic for Warzone 2 sniper rifles There are five levels of glint intensity in MW2 and WZ2, ranging from “very small” to “very large.” The glint is visible to everyone whenever a player aims down sight with a sniper rifle. JGOD discovered that the Forge Tac Delta 4 optic has little to no glint, and tested the scope in a private match. The YouTuber stood 80 meters apart from his assistant, and you could hardly see any sniper glint from their weapon. A red laser was visible, but JGOD recommended using it because the laser provides the fastest possible ADS speed. However, the loadout can be built without the laser if a player wants to get even stealthier. “Even though this optic says it has a small glint, it might as well say it has no glint at all.” JGOD then compared his loadouts to other sniper rifle builds and the ISO Hemlock. He concluded that the quick-scoping MCPR and FJX Imperium had faster ADS speeds than the ISO Hemlock. The loadouts also have approximately 20% better ADS speeds than base builds of the sniper rifles. While the FJX Imperium is a great choice, JGOD leans towards using the MCPR because of its faster reload speed. Best MCPR-300 Season 3 loadout Here is JGOD’s MCPR-300 loadout with attachment tuning included. Muzzle: Nilsound 90 (-0.41, +1.00) – Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser (+0.21, -34.55) – Ammunition: .300 Mag Explosive (-0.54, +6.68) – Magazine: 5 Round Mag – Optic: Forge Tac Delta 4 (-1.94, +0.75) – JGOD urged players to give this loadout a try before it gets nerfed. And the next time you get taken out and don’t see a sniper glint, you’ll now know what optic the enemy was most likely using.

JGOD reveals unusual SMG loadout with faster TTK than meta OTs 9 & MP5 Activision / JGODWarzone’s close-range meta has been dominated by the OTs 9 and MP5 but JGOD revealed an unusual loadout for Modern Warfare’s AUG which, surprisingly, has one of the fastest TTK. The short-range meta in Warzone has been dominated by the likes of the OTs and MP5 as these guns destroy anything that gets up in your face. For a couple of patches, there have been no other weapons that can match the TTKs of these two guns, but that may not be the case anymore. Warzone content creator JGOD, has discovered a loadout for the MW AUG that gives it the lowest TTK in the class. Modern Warfare AUG has faster TTK than OTs 9 & MP5 As seen in the picture above, you can see the build that JGOD uses to get the lowest TTK on the AUG. We have listed these below: Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor – Laser: Tac Laser – Stock: FORGE TAC CQB Comb – Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape – Magazine 5.56 NATO 60-Round Drum – The biggest thing to note is this has to be used with 5.56 rounds or it will not get the low TTK. This is why the 5.56 NATO 60-Round Drum is used on this weapon. While other loadouts with this gun feature the 30-Round mag you would need to use Sleight of Hand and lose out on a valuable attachment. For those wondering how this gun is better than the OTs and MP5 it simply comes from the data. In a recent JGOD YouTube video, he did extensive testing and found the AUG will always kill in seven bullets at its worst. When looking at the numbers, it is revealed that the AUG has 486 TTK which is significantly lower than the 562 the MP5 and OTs give. Not only is the TTK lower but the AUG also has a better ADS time than the OTs and MP5 which is crucial when using a SMG. According to WZRanked the AUG has climbed up from a 0.2 pick rate to over a 1.1 in just a couple of days. Next time you drop into Verdansk, you may want to give this gun a try and see if it truly beams like JGOD says it can.

JGOD reveals underrated Warzone gun perfect for sniper support Activision / JGODSniper Rifles are a key part of the Warzone meta, but finding the right weapon to partner with them can be a little tricky, as you try and get the balance between long, medium, and short-range just right. After a buff in the recent update, CoD expert JGOD has revealed an AS44 loadout that shakes up the Sniper support meta completely. The Kar98k and Swiss K31 have been the dominant Sniper Rifles in Warzone for some time now, and this has continued in Caldera. In fact, fans have even been frustrated that the two have become even stronger thanks to the new map’s vast open spaces. There’s no denying that either the Kar98k or Swiss should be your first point of call, but which secondary weapon should you go for if you’re building a Sniper support class? Well, after the mid-season update, the Vanguard AS44 Assault Rifle has received a nice boost. So much so, that CoD YouTuber JGOD has shown off a loadout that he believed will change the sniper support meta in Warzone. JGOD’s AS44 Warzone loadout Muzzle: Mercury Silencer – Barrel: None – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: ZAC 12B Custom – Underbarrel: m1941 Hand Stop – Magazine: .30 Russian Short 60 Round Mags – Ammo Type: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Stippled Grip – Perk 1: Momentum – Perk 2: On-Hand – Speaking in one of his videos, JGODsaid that while the buffed AS44 still has “too much recoil” for long-range, its “TTK and useability from short to medium is very effective.” His build focuses on keeping some of that recoil in check, to make the Assualt Rifle a devasting option in the “open” Sniper support meta. Read More: Will Call of Duty still be on PlayStation? – JGOD starts his loadout with the Mercury Silencer, which helps curb some recoil at the expense of a little damage range. Luckily, the AS44’s blistering fire rate more than makes up for it. Next, he goes for the ZAC 12B Custom stock, as well as the m1941 Hand Stop. The former greatly reduces sway and flinch, while the latter adds even more accuracy when firing. In terms of magazines, he opts for .30 Russian Short 60 Round Mags so you can stay in the fight without having to worry about reloading constantly. He fills the mags with Lengenthed rounds, which buff the bullet velocity so the AS44 packs a real punch in close quarters combat. The Stippled Grip is also included, which increases ADS and how quick you can aim after sprinting. This will give you an edge over your opponent and let you get those precious first shots. Perk-wise, we have On-Hand, reducing the cooldown between uses of equipment. Rounding out the class is Momentum, providing players with a boost in movement speed after killing an enemy – something you’ll be doing a lot of. If want to see the loadout in action, the YouTuber uses it in his video bag himself a Caldera victory. Racking up 19 kills in the process. By following JGOD’s AS44 loadout, what you’re left with is the perfect partner to the Kar98k or Swiss K31 Sniper Rifles. Be sure to give it a try the next you drop into Caldera and you’re in a need of a close-range monster. For more useful Warzone guides, head over to our dedicated Call of Duty page.

JGOD reveals underrated Warzone AR that dominates as a sniper support Treyarch/ActivisionWarzone guru JGOD has outlined an underused Vanguard AR that is absolutely lethal as a sniper support in the current meta. Creating a well-rounded loadout in Warzone has only become harder over the years as the arsenal of weapons in-game has continued to grow. While it’s easy to pick out and utilize the current meta options like the NZ-41, Marco 5, and Cooper Carbine, using one of these guns won’t make a solid loadout on their own. That’s why a lot of the community gravitates toward “sniper support” classes which offer the long-range threat of the rifle, and a medium-range AR or SMG that can take down enemies at close to medium distances. Well, luckily for us, Warzone expert JGOD has identified an underrated AR that slots perfectly into a sniper support build, and also a rifle that will always kill an opponent with a well-aimed headshot. Best Nikita ATV & ZRG 20mm loadout in Warzone Nikita ATV Muzzle: Mercury Silencer – Barrel: Kovalevskaya 546MM Sr – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: ZAC Padded – Underbarrel: M1930 Strife Angled – Ammunition: Hollow Point – Rear Grip: Taped Grip – Magazine: 6.5 Sakura 60 Rnd Drum – Perk: Brace – Perk2: On-Hand – ZRG 20mm Muzzle: Wrapped Suppressor – Barrel: 43.9″ Combat Recon – Laser: SWAT 5mw Laser Sight – Rear Grip: Serpent Wrap – Magazine: 5 Rnd – Of course, in any top-tier sniper support class, you need a reliable rifle that can take enemies with ease at long distances. Thanks to the huge sniper changes that arrived with Caldera, the days of the Kar98k and Swiss K31 are over, so JGOD has opted to run the ZRG 20mm, one of the few snipers that can still one-shot headshot. When it comes to the AR, the Warzone guru has chosen to showcase an underrated option that only has a 0.9% pick rate in the current meta, and that’s the Nikita ATV. Kitted out for close to medium range, this AR packs a punch and can eliminate opponents in an instant, so don’t be afraid to push aggressively with this class. While the sniper options are limited in the current meta if you’re looking to one-shot opponents, there are plenty of other ARs and SMGs if the Nikita doesn’t fit your style of play. JGOD also recommends the Armaguerra, Volk, and Cooper Carbine, so don’t hold back on making adjustments if necessary.

JGOD reveals underrated MW SMG with one of the fastest TTKs in Warzone JGOD/ActivisionThe Marco 5 and H4 Blixen are dominating the Warzone SMG meta, but JGOD has highlighted an underrated MW alternative that can compete with their TTK. For months, the MP40 stood tall as the strongest SMG in the game and maintained an enormously high pick rate within the community. However, alongside the Season 4 update, both the H4 Blixen and Marco 5 rose as contenders and have now surpassed the MP40 in terms of popularity. Although all three meta options are undoubtedly powerful, they often overshadow the countless alternative guns available to players. Well, Warzone expert JGOD has evaluated the close-range meta in his latest video and highlighted a Modern Warfare SMG with one of the fastest TTKs in the game. Best MW AUG loadout in Warzone Season 4 Attachments Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor – Optic: G.I. Mini Reflex – Laser: Tac Laser – Magazine: 5.56 NATO 60 Round Drum – Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape – While going over all of the close-range SMG options in the current meta, JGOD takes the time to highlight the AUG, a Modern Warfare weapon that a lot of players have forgotten. Despite being left in the past, JGOD praises the gun for being one of the “fastest killing SMGs in the entire game” and claims it can “delete” enemies in seconds. The build above allows it to do exactly that by maximizing its damage output, ensuring that you’ll come out on top in your gunfights as long you can land your shots. Unfortunately, this impressive TTK does come at the cost of a lot of mobility, but it’s well worth the sacrifice when you come face to face with an opponent at close quarters. According to WZRanked, the AUG has an incredibly low pick rate of just 0.27%, so it’ll be interesting to see if JGOD’s video boosts the Modern Warfare SMG’s popularity. Keep in mind, that the AUG does not thrive from afar, so we recommend running the Overkill perk so you can use a top-tier AR. In the current meta, both the NZ-41 and STG44 are dominant choices, but there’s also the Cooper Carbine and M13 if you’re looking for something different.

JGOD reveals two best overall weapons to dominate Warzone Season 3 JGOD/ActivisionWarzone guru JGOD has highlighted what he believes are the two “best” weapons in Season 3 as one loadout, and it doesn’t include any sniper rifle. When the Warzone developers started teasing the Season 3 update, they also noted that the meta was going to shift quite a bit, seeing as they would be heavily nerfing the battle royale’s most popular sniper rifles. On top of those big nerfs, some other popular choices – including the Owen Gun, MP40, and Bren – also got hit in a big way, opening up spots in the meta for some weapons that have either been on the fringes of being useful or just haven’t been used in a long time. As a result, players have been switching their loadouts up, trying to find the best combination for them. For JGOD, his answer is pretty simple as he’s rocking the Cold War AK47 and the Owen Gun, despite the latter being nerfed. The Warzone stats guru highlighted the pair in his May 2 video, calling them the “best weapons in Warzone right now” despite them both having some flaws. In terms of the AK47, JGOD noted that the recoil can put some players off using it, but there’s a simple fix. Switching the optic you use to a holographic should make things “a little easier” to deal with, and put the weapon’s significant power in your hands. “When it comes to the Owen Gun, it did get a nerf, but this is still going to be the best all-around build regardless of which one you’re playing,” he added. The YouTuber even showed that the SMG still rips enemies apart at close range, almost like the nerf never even happened. As per WZRanked stats, the pair have both jumped inside the top five most popular weapons following the Season 3 update, and pairing them together is a smart choice. Of course, if they’re too powerful as the season progresses, the developers could bring them down a notch. Though, for now, it’s worth rocking with JGOD’s advice.

JGOD reveals ‘top tier’ meta Milano loadout after Warzone buff Activision/YouTube: JGODThe Milano 821 has never been a hugely popular SMG in Warzone, but now it’s been buffed and is starting to take the Verdansk meta by storm — and JGOD has shown off just how great it can be. Season 4 launched and made some weapon balancing changes that have very quickly taken over the old weapon rankings. With an MG nerf promised by devs Raven Software, the meta is ready to return to its previous state, which is very open to different weapons and playstyles. One surprise gun that has started creeping into the meta is the Milano, and JGOD has provided the loadouts needed to make it challenge the best SMGs in the game. As JGOD explains, some of the balancing changes have made the Milano viable not just at close range but even in medium and long-range gunfights, really becoming a do-it-all weapon. Here are his three main recommended classes for the Milano in Warzone: Long-range Milano class Muzzle: Sound Suppressor – Barrel: 10.5” Ranger – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip – Ammunition: STANAG 55 Rnd Drum – While you won’t be challenging snipers and the best long-range weapons with this Milano, it provides much more depth than a standard SMG class. Sniper support Milano class Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 10.5” Ranger – Optic: Microflex LED – Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip – Ammunition: STANAG 55 Rnd Drum – This loadout is pretty much the same, but change the optic on the weapon to make it easier to use at shorter ranges. JGOD also swaps out the Sound Suppressor for the Agency Suppressor for improved range, but it loses bullet velocity. Pair this with a Kar98k or Swiss K31, though, and it should be good to go. Close-range Milano build Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 10.6” Task Force – Laser: Ember Sighting Point – Stock: Raider Stock – Ammunition: STANAG 55 Rnd Drum – Again, the Suppressor used comes down to personal preference, but attachments such as the 10.6” Task Force, Ember Sighting Point and Raider Stock mean it is much better for close-range gunfights, more similar to the classic SMG build. It’s not often we see a weapon as diverse as this in the Warzone meta, so expect to see it popping up more and more throughout the course of Season 4. The Milano is clearly viable for any playstyle, especially with these different loadouts, so it’s well worth trying these out and seeing what suits you best.

JGOD reveals top 5 Warzone weapons that can match “completely broken” Lachmann 762 TTK Activision/YouTube: JGODWarzone expert JGOD has revealed the top five guns in the Call of Duty battle royale that he claims can match the “completely broken” Lachmann 762 when it comes to time-to-kill (TTK). Following the Season 5 update, JGOD claimed the Lachmann 762 battle rifle was incredibly busted, a fast-killing demon of a weapon that puts other rifles to shame, despite it not being the most popular weapon in the game. With the Lachmann possibly shaking up the meta, it does lead players to question what else could break ahead of the likes of the ISO 45, Cronen Squall, and the Signal 50. With that in mind, JGOD took a look at the stats for other weapons and was pleasantly surprised to see a few guns that could almost keep up with the Lachmann. 5 weapons with insane TTK in Warzone 2 JGOD provided a list of five other guns that could strive to go toe-to-toe with the Lachmann 762 when it comes to TTK. They were: Kastov 762 – Rapp H – RPK – Sakin MG38 – TAQ-V – JGOD looked predominantly in the 40-50 meter range and at the damage drop-offs once an enemy is that far away. Some weapons, such as the Kastov 762, excel at closer ranges, with a big uptick as it got further. Others, such as the Sakin MG38, are more interesting because while the TTK at close ranges is one of the worst of the above, the drop-off doesn’t happen until around 65m, making it a more interesting pick. The TAQ-V is definitely part of the current Warzone 2 meta across Al Mazrah, Vondel, and Ashika Island, with it being one of the most popular picks, but some of the others are well worth building a loadout for to try and surprise some enemies with an off-meta pick.

JGOD reveals top 12 CoD Vanguard weapons to level for Warzone Pacific Activision/YouTube: JGODYouTube’s Call of Duty guru JGOD has revealed which Call of Duty Vanguard weapons he thinks players should level up for the Warzone Pacific integration. The Vanguard integration into Warzone has been highly anticipated for some time now and, since the game launched, many players are jumping into multiplayer to get their weapons ready for Warzone. So when the new Caldera map finally arrives in Warzone on December 8, which weapons does JGOD think will be best to have leveled up? Here are the top weapons he recommends grinding. Vanguard weapons to level for Warzone With a mix of guns from all weapon classes here, JGOD goes through each Vanguard gun and explains a little bit about whether he expects them to be in the meta and why. He lists 12 guns that he believes could end up being potential meta Warzone weapons — but it might mean you have to stop abusing the STG in multiplayer. Here are his choices: Automaton (AR) – Volk (AR) – PPSh-41 (SMG) – Sten (SMG) – M1928 Tommy Gun (SMG) – Type 100 (SMG) – DP27 (LMG) – MG42 (LMG) – Type 11 (LMG) – G-43 (Marksman) – Machine Pistol (Secondary) – 1911 (Secondary) – Of course, the main ones to be looking at are the assault rifles and submachine guns, as the Warzone meta usually revolves around those two weapon classes. JGOD does explain, though, that the Automaton should be leveled up as a priority, calling it a “top 1 or 2” potential meta weapon. Elsewhere, he says the snipers don’t look to pose much of a threat to the Kar98 and Swiss K31 meta and speaks highly of other ARs such as the NZ-41, which he compares to the CR-56 AMAX. While we have no clue what the meta will look like, or how these weapons will be balanced differently for Warzone, we can trust JGOD to give us a good place to start — so best get grinding!

JGOD reveals three-shot Warzone 2 Tempus Torrent loadout ActivisionSeason 2 Reloaded introduced a new marksman rifle to Warzone 2, and JGOD believes the Tempus Torrent is a “monster” in the right hands. Marksman Rifles have yet to cement a solid foothold in Warzone 2’s meta. The class found plenty of success in Warzone 1, but it’s been tough for the semi-automatic rifles to stack up against fast-firing LMGs in WZ2. Season 2 Reloaded brought marksman rifles back into relevance, as the Tempus Torrent took the battle royale’s long-range meta by storm. Warzone 2 expert JGOD tested the new “hard-hitting” rifle and walked away pleasantly surprised. JGOD explains why Tempus Torrent is must-use Warzone weapon JGOD compared the Tempus Torrent to the fan-favorite ISO Hemlock. Fire rates make this stat deceiving, but the Tempus Torrent has a TTK of 380 milliseconds at 71 meters compared to the Hemlock’s 700 at 58 meters. “When it comes to the Tempus Torrent, it has some ridiculously fast TTKs. You can get a TTK of 380 milliseconds if you get three headshots within 50 meters.” The YouTuber acknowledged realistically, players won’t be able to land three headshots perfectly because of the weapon’s semi-automatic limitations. “Where this is going to shine is within 71 meters which is kind of a crazy range but is easier said than done.” Using stats from TrueGameData, JGOD discovered players get penalized by 150 milliseconds for every missed shot. The Tempus Torrent is the definition of a high-risk-high-reward weapon. “A lot of times, you can die within that time, so you must be really skilled.” Best Warzone 2 Tempus Torrent loadout Here is JGOD’s go-to Tempus Torrent loadout, including attachment tuning. Muzzle: Sakin Tread-40 (+0.44, +0.28) – Ammunition: 7.62 High Velocity (-0.35, -6.39) – Magazine: 30 Round Mag – Rear Grip: Sakin ZX Grip (+0.74, +0.30) – Optic: Aim OP-V4 (-1.55, +1.80) – JGOD doesn’t expect the Tempus Torrent to compete with the devastating DMR-14 of Warzone 1, but it still deserves recognition.

JGOD reveals the best Warzone SMG to use in Season 3 YouTube: JGOD/ActivisionCall of Duty content creator JGOD has revealed what he thinks is the best Warzone SMG to use in the current meta based on weapon statistics. When creating an Overkill loadout, pairing a Kilo or an AMAX with a great SMG is always an effective combination that allows you to shred enemies at short and long range. However, with 16 SMGs for players to choose from in Warzone Season 3, it can be difficult to know which weapon is best in the current meta. Although one option is to test out all of the weapons yourself, Call of Duty YouTuber JGOD has saved you some time and revealed what he thinks is the best SMG in Warzone at the moment. JGOD reveals best SMG loadout in Warzone When it comes to Warzone stats, there are very few people that can break them down better than JGOD. In his latest video, he analyzed the top eight SMGs in Warzone and gave some insight into their strengths and weaknesses. Out of all the options, it was obvious JGOD favored the MAC-10 and the PPSh for the majority of players. Both weapons have an incredibly fast fire and ADS time, making them a perfect secondary alongside a meta AR. On top of this, they’re relatively forgiving if you happen to miss the first few initial bullets. This differs from the Bullfrog which has a significantly slower rate of fire. In the end, JGOD even took the time to show off the best loadout for the majority of the Cold War SMGs in the meta. This means you can apply this setup to any SMG your testing out. Attachments Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 13.9″ Task Force – Stock: Raider Stock – Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight – Ammunition: STANAG 55 Rnd – JGOD’s base SMG loadout focuses on maximizing mobility and damage to create an absolutely lethal setup. For starters, you’ll want to equip the Tiger Team Spotlight for overall movement and strafe speed, as well as the Raider Stock, to improve your sprint to fire time. Next, you’ll want to use the Agency Suppressor to keep your gunfire off the radar and the 13.9″ Task Force barrel to maximize the gun’s damage. Finally, round off the loadout with STANAG 55 Rnd Mag to ensure you never run out of bullets in an intense gunfight. So, there you have it, that’s JGOD’s number one SMG setup for Warzone that can be applied to any of the Cold War guns.

JGOD reveals state of TAQ-V after surprise Warzone 2 nerf ActivisonJGOD crunched the numbers and revealed the TAQ-V’s place in Warzone 2’s long-range meta after the latest weapon balancing update. Amid a wave of Modern Warfare 3 news, the Warzone 2 devs snuck in a substantial weapon balancing update. First, the update addressed an overreliance on the Signal 50 sniper rifle in Ranked Play and the World Series of Warzone. At the start of Season 5, Raven Software argued: “We do not feel it is necessary to make changes to the Signal 50.” However, the devs reconsidered their stance, and the sniper rifle finally saw a nerf. The update also took down Warzone 2’s most popular weapon. According to WZ Ranked, the TAQ-V currently stands head and shoulders above every other weapon with a 20.2% pick rate. The TAQ-V saw its maximum, close-mid, and minimum damage decrease. And the king of long-range weapons had its damage multipliers decreased. Without exact numbers, it’s hard to understand how substantial of a nerf it is, but JGOD did all of the hard work for us. JGOD uncovers new TAQ-V TTK numbers After the most recent update, JGOD went into a Warzone 2 private match and revealed the TAQ-V’s TTK. From 45 meters, which is a common range for long-range engagements, the battle rifle’s proper TTK increased from 875ms to 993. According to sym.gg, the Cronen Squall’s TTK from 45 meters is 884ms to put that number in perspective. Based on these findings, the Cronen Squall will most likely emerge as the new go-to long-range option. JGOD asked Warzone 2 community members for their own opinion on how the TAQ V feels after the update. Warzone Loadout responded: “Decent nerf to make it more balanced but not destroyed.” On the opposite side of the aisle, a second player argued: “Bro, it’s destroyed. It’s not balanced.” Meanwhile, a third player claimed: “It feels the same.” We won’t know for sure until players have more play time with the new update in place. And while most eyes will turn to the Cronen Squall, it’s also important to note that the M16 and SO-14 received buffs to put them back in contention. If you need a class for Warzone 2 after the update, make sure to check out our best loadout guide.

JGOD reveals “slept on” close range loadout for Warzone 2 Season 3 ActivisonIn spite of other close-range weapons receiving more attention, JGOD believes the Chimera stands out in Warzone 2 Season 3. The Season 3 weapon balancing update blew Warzone 2’s long-range meta wide open but didn’t make the same impact for close-range weapons. According to WZRanked, the Vaznev-9K and Lachmann Sub are selected at a much higher rate than any other SMG or AR capable of competing in short-range engagements. However, JGOD highlighted the Chimera as a short-range meta weapon, community members need to pay more attention to. JGOD explains why the Chimera is a short-range meta contender JGOD made a case for the Chimera being a must-try weapon in Warzone 2 Season 3. The Chimera boasts an impressive 525-millisecond practical TTk and 244 ms ADS speed. He said: “Based on the stats of this weapon, it is very competitive, and I think almost slept on in that regard.” JGOD added: “The Chimera kills as fast or faster than pretty much everything in the game at close range, and on top of that, it actually has more range” than other close-range meta weapon options that are more popular. Best Warzone 2 Chimera loadout Here is JGOD’s Chimera loadout with attachment tuning included. Barrel: 6.5″ EXF Vorpal (-0.30, -0.28) – Laser: 1mW Quickfire laser (-0.23, -29.58) – Stock: TRX-56 Stock (-2.19, -29.58) – Rear Grip: Bruen Flash Grip (0.48, -0.30) – Ammunition: 45 Round Mag – “This build is specifically built for close range, which puts an emphasis on ADS, sprint to fire, and strafe speed, which all ends up hurting your recoil,” he explained. The YouTuber admitted it was a struggle trying to find the perfect balance between recoil control and mobility, but he argued this class will be fine taking out enemies within 10 to 20 meters. For a refreshing change of pace from the usual Vazenv 9-K or Lachmann Sub, this underrated AR checks every box.

JGOD reveals simple trick to improve MW2 aim assist JGODA growing contention of Modern Warfare 2 players believe aim assist is too powerful, but it would be a waste not to take full advantage of the feature. Viral MW2 clips of rotational aim assist reignited an age-old debate of mouse and keyboard versus controller. One side of the aisle believes aim assist provides an unfair advantage, while the other contends they don’t stand a chance without it. Tensions reached a boiling point during MW2’s release. OpTic Scump claimed, “they took out so much of the skill in aiming.” Opinions aside, aim assist does not appear to be going anywhere, so learning the ins and outs is essential. Check out our best controller settings guide for a better explanation, but CoD YouTuber JGOD shared a simple trick to full take advantage of MW2’s aim assist. JGOD explains how to “abuse” aim assist in MW2 In his latest YouTube video, JGOD researched the best MW2 settings and tested all four aim assist types. Default – Precision – Focusing – Black Ops – JGOD does not recommend using Precision or Focusing aim assist because they do not offer rotational aim assist. Introduced in Modern Warfare 2019, rotational aim assist locks on your crosshair to enemies by slightly moving your left stick without touching the right. Slowdown activates by only using the right thumbstick and slows down your crosshair while aiming at an enemy. Default and Black Ops utilize both features, but JGOD concluded one slightly edges out the other. After testing the Default and Black Ops options in-game, he concluded: “Black Ops was one to three percent stronger,” as the crosshair stayed on an enemy slightly longer with the help of aim assist. JGOD noted that his research is well within the margin of error, so it may not be entirely accurate. However, it may be worth trying out the Black Ops aim assist type if you are looking for every possible way to stay ahead of the game.

JGOD reveals simple trick to get cash fast in Warzone 2 YouTube: JGODEarning cash to buy back your teammates or loadout weapons in Warzone 2 is challenging, but JGOD revealed a simple solution. Warzone 2 introduced a new buy station and loadout system, which removes the ability to purchase loadout drops from buy stations. Instead, a random drop event and completing strongholds offer full loadouts. Buy stations don’t offer loadout drops, but they do offer customized loadout weapons for $5,000 each. And buying a teammate back costs $4,000 per squad member, which adds up fast. Warzone 2 players have complained it’s too difficult to buy back teammates because of the limited ground loot cash. Some exploits and guides emerged, helping players earn money fast, but attempting to buy everything you want with such limited resources is still frustrating. Fortuntaley, with the help of a Warzone 2 community member, JGOD revealed a quick and easy way to earn money in Al Mazrah. JGOD reveals quick money-making method in Warzone 2 In JGOD’s latest YouTube video, he mentioned looting cash registers and completing Safecracker contracts but argued looting underground storage caches is the best way to make money in Warzone 2. Underground caches are black disk-like crates found around the map. JGOD looted 15 and concluded that most caches drop between $2,000 and $3,500, one primary weapon, a three-plate sachel, lethal or tactical grenades, and a scorestreak. Warzone content creator Nianfo, shared an image of underground storage cache locations. They were not able to find every single location, but more than enough for good places to either land or regain after coming back from the Gulag. JGOD landed in the bottom right of Al Mazrah by Airport and looted underground caches on the airstrip. In 90 seconds, he earned enough money to buy two loadout weapons. If you need a way to earn money in Warzone 2 fast, try this method yourself.

JGOD reveals powerful Warzone 2 AR loadout “people are sleeping on” ActivisonIf players want to use an AR in Warzone 2 Season 5, JGOD explained why players should consider the Kastov 762. It’s a battle rifle’s world, and we are just living in it. The Cronen Squall dominated Seasons 3 and 4’s long-range meta. And Season 5 passed the torch to yet another battle rifle in the form of the TAQ V. The last time an AR had some time in the spotlight was the ISO Hemlock during Season 2. According to WZ Ranked, no AR cracks the top five in weapon popularity rankings. However, right outside the top five and knocking on the door of being a top-tier meta option is the Kastov 762. JGOD made a case for the Kastov 762 being the battle royale sequel’s best AR in Season 5. What is the best AR in Warzone 2 Season 5? JGOD originally fell in love with the Kastov 762 while playing DMZ when Modern Warfare 2 was first released. However, a string of nerfs knocked the hard-hitting AR out of his regular weapon rotation. “It kind of got nerfed a couple of times, but it’s kind of in a really good spot for long-range right now. Especially with this build, you should be able to control it and have decent bullet velocity.” JGOD admitted that the weapon’s biggest downfall is its 40-round mag. The YouTuber wishes the Kastov 762 had something closer to a 50-round mag to compete with the meta battle rifles, but it’s still large enough to take down multiple enemies. Best Kastov 762 Warzone 2 loadout Here is JGOD’s go-to Kastov 762 loadout with attachment tuning included. Barrel: ZLR Talon 5 (+0.54, +0.77) – Muzzle: Kas 10 584mm (+0.37, -0.25) – Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper (+0.59, +0.28) – Optic: Aim OP V4 (+0.77, -1.65) – Magazine: 40-Round Mag – If the Kastov 762 doesn’t check every box for you with a long-range meta weapon, check out our choices for the best Warzone 2 loadouts in Season 5.

JGOD reveals perfect Warzone settings to improve accuracy Activision / JGODCall of Duty content creator JGOD has revealed his in-game Warzone settings that improve accuracy on both console and PC. Maintaining decent accuracy in Warzone is important in any FPS game, particularly Warzone where the TTK is incredibly quick. In fact, if you’re continually missing shots, then chances are you aren’t winning many games. While simply changing your in-game settings won’t make you the best player overnight, it will drastically improve your ability to track and eliminate your enemies. The frozen fields of Verdansk are notoriously competitive and every player is constantly looking for new ways to give themselves an edge. Whether you’re a new player looking to increase your KDA or a Warzone veteran who is looking to really dominate with the game’s strongest meta picks, you’ll want to try out JGOD’s best in-game settings. JGOD console settings Timestamp of 0:40 Tracking players on console can be a little trickier, but JGOD’s settings drastically improve the smoothness of analog aiming.

JGOD reveals perfect Warzone AK-47 loadout for sniper support JGODCall of Duty content creator JGOD has revealed his lethal AK-47 loadout that dominates players in Warzone. The AK-47 has remained a staple weapon in the Call of Duty series, but the Cold War variant has proven incredibly potent in Warzone. While it has yet to break into the top 10 AR rankings, many players have been enjoying the gun’s incredible damage and close-quarters kill potential. It’s because of this that JGOD has been using the AK-47 as a sniper support weapon. Despite receiving nerfs to its Headshot and Upper Torso multiplier, the Cold War AK-47 can make short work of even the game’s best players. This is especially true if you kit it out with the best attachments. To help you capitalize on this high-damage gun, JGOD has revealed his best AK-47 loadout. JGOD’s AK-47 loadout Muzzle: Gru Suppressor – Optic: Microflex LED – Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Grip – Ammunition: 45 Rnd – Rear Grip: Gru Elastic Wrap – JGOD’s AK-47 is tailored around melting opponents in close-quarter and mid-range scenarios, making it the perfect AR to pair with any long-range snipers. First up, is the Gru Suppressor and Spetsnaz Grip. Read More: How to get Kyubi Kitsune skin in Warzone – Both these attachments decrease the AK-47’s vertical and horizontal recoil, which enables you to effortlessly beam down your targets without the need to constantly wrestle for control. If that wasn’t enough, the Gru Suppressor increases the AK’s damage range by 10%, speeds up bullet velocity, and even suppresses your shots. Timestamp at 0:44 To make the AK-47 as competitive as possible, the GRU Elastic Wrap has been utilized. This attachment greatly decreases the gun’s ADS time, while also providing greater aiming stability. This ensures you have every opportunity to outgun players using the most deadly SMG classes. As you’ll likely be pairing this AK-47 with a sniper, JGOD has used the Microflex LED optic. While it may not have a high magnification, the Microflex gives you just enough zoom to capitalize on those all-important headshot multipliers in close to mid-range engagements. Of course, you can always replace this with the Royal & Kross 4x if you want greater magnification. Lastly, the 45 Rnd mags give you just enough ammunition to down your foes without hindering your ADS speed. The AK-47 may not be the top-ranked AR in Warzone, but JGOD’s loadout demonstrates just how lethal this classic weapon can be.

JGOD reveals new SCAR loadout after Season 4 buff JGODCall of Duty content creator JGOD has revealed his new SCAR loadout that dominates players in Warzone. While Warzone’s SCAR has never been in the meta spotlight, that doesn’t mean it can’t do well when kitted out with the correct attachments. Despite its relatively low clip size and methodical rate of fire, the SCAR is capable of dishing out some decent damage. This is particularly true in the game’s close to mid-range firefights. If that wasn’t good enough, Raven Software actually buffed the AR at the start of the Season 4 update. Not only does this Modern Warfare weapon now deal increased damage to the neck, but it also had its upper torso damage improved. Because of this, JGOD has been busy experimenting with various loadouts and has now found the perfect build for those looking to try out the SCAR. JGOD’s SCAR loadout Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor – Barrel: FORGE TAC 20.0” LB – Optic: VLK 3.0x Optic – Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip – Ammunition: 30 Round Mags – JGOD’s SCAR loadout greatly boosts the gun’s accuracy and damage range, enabling it to compete with other ARs. First up, is the Monolithic Suppressor. This mighty muzzle is a must for any Modern Warfare AR, especially for those looking to suppress their shots and increase the gun’s damage range. Read More: JGOD reveals C58 Warzone loadout – The FORGE TAC 20.0” LB also increases the damage range, while also adding 50% bullet velocity and recoil control. The SCAR can be rather unwieldy at times, so having an attachment that enables you to remain accurate no matter the distance is huge. This is especially important if you wish to hit those increased neck and torso damage multipliers. Timestamp of 9:30 Even more recoil stabilization is given from both the Commando Foregrip and VLK 3.0x Optic. While you won’t overpower Warzone top-ranked meta ARs, you’ll at least have a fighting chance when taking fights at range. Lastly, the 30 Round Mags will give you just enough ammunition to take down one or two opponents before needing to reload. Due to the lower mag size, you’re best of using this loadout in Rebirth Island or picking your fights carefully when playing on Verdansk. The SCAR may not be the best AR in Warzone Season 4, but JGOD’s loadout does prove that it can still be a deadly pick when kitted out with the right attachments.

JGOD reveals long-range “monster” AR that dominates in Warzone 2 ActivisonWarzone 2 expert JGOD has unveiled a long-range “monster” AR loadout that melts foes on Al Mazrah. Although gun skill and mechanics will always be the most important aspect of Warzone 2, racking up kills is significantly easier when you have a top-tier loadout. While you could follow a meta-tier list or experiment with all the weapons yourself, sometimes it’s better to let an expert do the thinking for you. That way, you don’t have to waste any time in Gunsmith, you can just jump into a match and focus on securing the victory. Well, Warzone 2 guru JGOD has a meta Warzone 2 AR loadout that’s perfect for tearing down your opponents at long range on Al Mazrah. Best long-range M13B loadout in Warzone 2 Attachments Optic: SZ Vortex-90 – Muzzle: Harbinger D20 – Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56 – Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity – Magazine: 60-Round Mag – While weapons like the TAQ-56 and RPK have made the biggest impact in the long-range meta so far in Warzone 2, JGOD believes the M13B has the potential to be a contender as well. According to him, the M13B is a “monster” from a distance and has “great bullet velocity”, making it easy to beam down foes from afar. JGOD also makes use of the SZ Vortex-90 optic in his build, which can be toggled from a long-range scope to a holographic mid-range sight, giving the weapon a huge amount of versatility. The build above is designed to push the M13B to its limits in terms of damage, while also making it incredibly simple to use by heavily bolstering the recoil. It’s worth noting that JGOD highlights that the RPK has a faster TTK than the M13B, but he also mentions it comes with a lot of negatives. As it’s an LMG, the gun is stuck with bulky mobility and a slower overall reload speed. As a result, the M13B is more of an “all-round beast” at long-range, perfect for those who want to maintain that extra speed and mobility, while also having the damage to wipe out foes in an instant. Keep in mind, the M13B has to be unlocked through the DMZ mode which is confusing a lot of players. So, if you’re struggling to get your hands on the weapon, check out our dedicated guide here.

JGOD reveals how impactful Cronen Squall & RPK Warzone nerfs will actually be ActivisionThe Warzone devs dropped a surprise update on September 6 with nerfs for the Cronen Squall and RPK, but JGOD downplayed its significance. Since its introduction in Season 3, the Cronen Squall has held a stranglehold on Warzone’s long range meta. As a result, the fan-favorite battle rifle saw nerfs in Season 3 Reloaded, Season 5, and the most recent mid-season update. Despite multiple tries, nothing was enough to take down the behemoth. According to WZ Ranked, the Cronen Squall is still the battle royale’s ninth most popular weapon, with a 5.1% pick rate. Even after Season 5 Reloaded’s nerf, most pro players used the easy-to-use battle rifle in tournaments and Ranked Play. The Warzone devs doubled down by dishing out nerfs to the Cronen Squall and RPK as part of a minor update. JGOD did his own testing, revealing how much the downgrades changed. JGOD tests Cronen Squall & RPK Warzone nerfs As part of the September 6 Warzone update, the Cronen Squall’s close damage and damage multipliers to the neck and upper torso decreased. Meanwhile, the RPK’s head damage multiplier increased, and other body multipliers decreased. The LMG also saw an increase in close damage range and a decrease in close damage. JGOD went into the lab and tested every change. “The way that most people use the Cronen, it’s not even going to be a nerf that you notice,’ He said. The YouTuber elaborated that the Cronen Squall’s furthest range damage of 22 did not change and only impacted damage values within 31 meters in Warzone. JGOD then tested the RPK post-nerf. “All the damage profiles were changed, so they do more headshot, and then everyone else does lower. This essentially makes it 1100 TTK, whereas before, it was mostly going to be 1000,” the streamer added. Players will most likely need to land an extra headshot to get a kill, and JGOD believes it will perform closer to the Kastov 762 but with worse mobility. If you need a replacement for either weapon, make sure to check our choices for the best Warzone loadouts.

JGOD reveals his best Warzone loadouts after Vanguard weapon nerfs Activision / JGODWarzone Season 1 has been out for quite some time, and nearly every Vanguard weapon has been nerfed in some way. Now, JGOD has shown off the best loadouts to take on Caldera. The new Warzone season came on December 8 with over 40 Vanguard weapons bringing the weapon total to over 150. This means there are thousands of combinations to make the best class. Vanguard weapons like the Cooper Carbine, BAR, MP40, and more quickly rose to the top as the go-to in Warzone, but they were all nerfed in some way. Following all the updates and weapon balancing, Warzone guru JGOD has taken a look at all the weapons and created his top 10 loadouts to rock this season. JGOD’s top 10 Warzone loadouts after Vanguard weapon nerfs JGOD is known as one of the best Warzone analysts in the game, as thousands of players tune into his YouTube channel for all the latest information on building good loadouts. He releases his best classes for each season and since it has been underway since December 8, JGOD has enough data to showcase what he thinks are the best combinations. Although these loadouts will not guarantee a victory or world record gameplay, they can certainly give you an edge if others players aren’t repping similar classes. Here’s a look at his top 10 and what JGOD thinks is the meta right now. 10. M1912 & Grau M1912 Muzzle: Mercury Silencer – Barrel: CGC 12” Cooling – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: CGC S Adjustable – Underbarrel: M1930 Strife Angled – Ammunition: Incendiary – Rear Grip: Polymer Grip – Perk: Frenzy – Perk 2: Quick – Grau Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor – Barrel: Tempus 26.4” Archangel – Laser: Tac Laser – Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip – Magazine: 60 Round Mags – The M1912 hasn’t seen too much action in Season 1, but JGOD thinks it is fun to use with a fast rate of fire and decent damage for an SMG. Pair it up with the Modern Warfare Grau which has recently returned to the meta as a viable assault rifle. 9. STG44 & AMP (Ghost perk) STG 44 Muzzle: Mercury Silencer – Barrel: VDD 760mm 05B – Optic: G16 2.5x – Stock: VDD 27 Precision – Underbarrel: Carver Foregrip – Magazine: 8mm Kurz 60 Round Drum – Ammunition: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Polymer Grip – Perk: Vital – Perk 2: Fully Loaded – AMP Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 6.4” Task Force – Laser: Ember Sighting Point – Magazine: Salvo 30 Rnd Fast Mag – Rear Grip: Serpent Wrap – 8.

Volk & Swiss K31 Volk Muzzle: Recoil Boosted – Barrel: Krausnick 428MM 05V – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: SA Converted – Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop – Magazine: 7.62 Russian Gorenko 40 Round Mags – Ammo Type: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Fabrice Grip – Proficiency: Fleet – Kit: On-Hand – Swiss K31 Muzzle: Gru Suppressor – Barrel: 24.9” Combat Recon – Laser: SWAT 5mw Laser Sight – Underbarrel: Bruiser Grip – Rear Grip: Serpent Wrap – 6. PPSh-41 (Vanguard) & BAR PPSh-41 Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: ZAC 300mm – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Removed Stock – Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop – Magazine: 7.62mm Gorenko 71 Round Mags – Ammo Type: Hollow Point – Rear Grip: Fabric Grip – Perk 1: Fleet – Perk 2: Quick – BAR Muzzle: MX Silencer – Barrel: CGC 30” XL – Optic: 1229/Slate 3.25x Custom – Stock: Pistol Grip Custom – Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop – Magazine: .50 BMG 30 Round Mag – Ammo Type: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Polymer Grip – Proficiency: Hard Scope – Kit: On-Hand – The PPSh and BAR are two of Warzone’s strongest Vanguard weapons. When paired up, the BAR allows you to line up shots and down enemies from a distance and rush in with the PPSh to clean up the rest of the kills. 5. Type 100 & Ak47 (Cold War) Type 100 Muzzle: M1929 Silencer – Barrel: Sakura 196mm Light – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Sakura Type 2 – Underbarrel: Mark VI Skeletal – Magazine: 8mm Kurz 48 Round Drum – Ammo Type: Hollow Point – Rear Grip: Fabric Grip – Proficiency: Fleet – Kit: Quick – AK47 (Cold War) Muzzle: Gru Suppressor – Barrel: 20” Spetsnaz RPK Barrel – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Grip – Magazine: Bakelite 60 Rnd – 4. AK47 (Cold War) & Kar98k (Modern Warfare) AK47 (Cold War) Muzzle: Gru Suppressor – Optic: Microflex LED – Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Grip – Rear Grip: Serpent Wrap – Magazine: 45 Rnd – Kar98k (Modern Warfare) Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor – Barrel: Singuard Custom 27.6” – Laser: Tac Laser – Optic: Sniper Scope – Perk: Focus – 3. OTs 9 & C58 OTs 9 Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Barrel: 8.1” Task Force – Laser: KGB Target Designator – Ammunition: VDV 40 Rnd Fast Mag – Rear Grip: Serpent Wrap – C58 Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 18.5” Task Force – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Underbarrel: Field Agent Foregrip – Magazine: 45 Rnd Drum – 2. Cooper Carbine & STG44 Cooper Carbine Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: 14” Gracey Rapid – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Removed Stock – Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop – Magazine: 9mm 60 Rnd Drums – Ammunition: Compressed Rounds – Rear Grip: Polymer Grip – Perk: Vital – Perk 2: Fully Loaded – STG44 Muzzle: Mercury Silencer – Barrel: VDD 760mm 05B – Optic: 1229/Slate 3.25x Custom – Stock: VDD 27 Precision – Underbarrel: Carver Foregrip – Magazine: 8mm Kurz 60 Round Drum – Ammunition: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Polymer Grip – Perk: Vital – Perk 2: On-Hand – The Cooper Carbine quickly became one of the most popular weapons in Warzone with its release. While it has been nerfed, the gun still reigns supreme as one of the best there is. Team it up with the STG44 and it will allow you to play at nearly any pace. 1. MP-40 & Bren MP-40 Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: Krausnick 317mm 04B – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Removed Stock – Underbarrel: Mark VI Skeletal – Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 45 Round Mag – Ammo Type: Hollow Point – Rear Grip: Polymer Grip – Perk: Momentum – Perk 2: Quick – Bren Muzzle: Mercury Silencer – Barrel: Queen’s 705mm Royal – Optic: M38/Slate 2.5x Custom – Stock: Oak & Shield Padded – Underbarrel: M1941 HandStop – Magazine: 6.5 Sakura 40 Round Mags – Ammunition: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Polymer Grip – Perk: Tight Grip – Perk2: On-Hand – The best Warzone loadout according to JGOD is the MP-40 and the Bren. We saw a lot of the Bren in the Baka WonderLAN as this has become the strongest weapon in Warzone history. Pair it up with the MP-40 and you should be set up to win loads of engagements. While these aren’t guaranteed to make you a better player in Warzone, they can certainly help as JGOD, streamers, and pros are mostly using these “meta” loadouts. However, if you think there are better attachments or build for these weapons then give those a try and find what fits your style. But while you find that style, you should definitely give some of these loadouts a go and see if they are as strong as JGOD makes them sound.

JGOD reveals forgotten Warzone setting that improves accuracy Activision / Apple / JGODIf you have been struggling with aiming since the Warzone Pacific update came out, then you’re at the right place. JGOD reveals a new setting that players have forgotten about that helps improve accuracy. Warzone has over 150 different weapons and there are over 20 different sights to put on each of them. Every optic provides a gun with certain stats as well as a different length of zoom. While most scopes are viable it’s important to have a sensitivity for each one. This is why JGOD brought up a Warzone setting that players may not be aware of that makes it so much easier to aim with different sights equipped. JGOD shows Warzone ADS setting to help aim With the Warzone Pacific update, there was a new setting added which allows players to change their aiming sensitivity for each specific optic zoom in the game. In a YouTube video, JGOD shows why this is extremely important for players to use and how it heavily impacts gunfights. Since this was new with the Pacific update JGOD claims that many people haven’t noticed that this was added as previously there was only a “high” and “low” setting to use. By setting each individual zoom sensitivity, players can now control how fast they are moving depending on what type of loadout they prefer. When looking at JGOD’s graph you can see on the bottom portion how much longer it takes to make a complete revolution. This means that your line of sight is moving around slower, making it easier to control your aim. You will need to test different sensitivities for each zoom as it will come down to personal preference to find the right speed you want. However, JGOD said this can be extremely useful as ground loot is more popular this season with the loadout drop change.

JGOD reveals forgotten Vanguard rifle with “overpowered” TTK in Warzone Treyarch/ActivisionWhen looking for a powerful weapon in Warzone, TTK will always be one of the most important factors and luckily, JGOD has identified an underrated rifle that can eliminate enemies in an instant. For most of the community in Season 4 Reloaded, creating a powerful loadout usually centers around picking a meta AR, SMG, or LMG. One category that often gets forgotten is the Marksmen Rifles which can be a little more unforgiving when it comes to landing shots. Of course, players’ tendency to look over these rifles does mean there are a few hidden gems that are going under the radar and can be extremely effective if used correctly. Well, Warzone YouTuber JGOD has showcased one of these rifles in a recent video, claiming the Vanguard weapon’s “overpowered” TTK makes it a must-use gun in the current meta. Best SVT-40 Warzone loadout in Season 4 Reloaded Muzzle: MX Silencer – Barrel: ZAC 730mm Precision – Optic: G16 2.5x – Stock: Kovalevskaya S02 Weighted – Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop – Ammunition: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Leather Grip – Magazine: 6.5 Sakura 20 Round Mags – Perk: Vital – Perk2: Fully Loaded – TTK is a significant factor when it comes to picking a strong weapon to dominate your opponents and according to JGOD, the SVT-40 is “overpowered” in that department. With a trigger cap of 400 and “broken” damage output, the rifle is capable of shredding through enemies in milliseconds if you can land your shots. This makes it perfect for medium-range engagements as anyone using a meta AR or SMG will usually be caught off-guard. JGOD’s build above focuses on maximizing the SVT’s damage while also bolstering the gun’s recoil, making it simple to land your bullets. Topic starts at 2:12 It’s worth noting that although the SVT is a deadly pick on both Caldera and Rebirth Island, it does struggle to perform at close quarters. As a result, we recommend running a meta SMG like the Marco 5 or H4 Blixen so you’re prepared for every possible encounter. In the current meta, the SVT’s pick rate is extremely low, sitting at a minimal 0.03%, so make sure to test out this setup before its popularity increases.

JGOD reveals forgotten Modern Warfare SMG that still melts in Warzone Season 5 JGODThe Warzone SMG meta changes with every new update and JGOD has found one Modern Warfare gun that absolutely shreds in the Season 5 update. Warzone Season 5 is well underway and players are busy getting to grips with the new EX1, RA 225, and map changes. As always, a number of weapon balance changes have made significant adjustments to the game’s meta weapons While the best best Warzone SMG category is currently dominated by the Armaguerra 43 and PPSh-41, there have been a number of unconventional picks that make it into the top 10. One of these SMGs is an old-school Modern Warfare SMG that has managed to creep into contention thanks to its high TTK. Best Fennec Warzone loadout Muzzle: ZLR Sabre – Laser: 5mW Laser – Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip – Magazine: 40 Round Drum Mags – Perk: Sleight of Hand – The Fennec has an incredibly fast time to kill thanks to its high rate of fire and damage per bullet, which makes it one of the best Modern Warfare SMGs in the current meta. In fact, if you can land the majority of your magazine without missing any crucial shots, you’ll chew through your enemy’s armor in no time. “The Fennec does melt, it does have a very good TTK but it does rely heavily on being able to time your reloads. [It excels] when playing in solos and duos,” said JGOD in his recent SMG meta video. Timestamp of 0:21 Because of the quick nature of this gun, JGOD has kitted the Fennec out with the Sleight of Hand Perk to help keep reload times down to a minimum. The 40 Round Drum Mags also reduce any downtime, enabling you to keep your focus on securing single and double kills. So, if you’re tired of using Cold War and Vanguard weapons, then this Modern Warfare classic is an excellent pick in Warzone Season 5.

JGOD reveals forgotten Cold War AR that still dominates in Warzone Treyarch/ActivisionThe NZ-41 and Cooper Carbine are dominating the Warzone AR meta, but JGOD has revealed an underused Cold War alternative that’s a “laser” at long range. When it comes to the AR meta in Season 4, the NZ-41 and Cooper Carbine have stood out as the two strongest two weapons. Although both guns are a solid choice, their popularity means a lot of players overlook the other options and often disregard them completely. However, with so many weapons in Warzone’s arsenal, there are bound to be some gems hiding in plain sight. Of course, if there’s one person that can find them, it’s Warzone expert JGOD and he’s done exactly that in his recent video, showcasing an underused Cold War AR that still dominates in Season 4. Best Krig 6 loadout in Warzone Season 4 Attachments Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 15″ CMV Mil-Spec – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip – Magazine: STANAG 60 Rnd – For a long time in Warzone, the Krig was considered one of the best ARs in the game but following the release of Vanguard, it slowly fell out of the meta. Well, in JGOD’s recent video, he showcases that the OG Cold War weapon still packs a punch and can perform well if built correctly. Dropping an impressive 15 kills with the Krig, the Warzone guru’s loadout is built to perform at long range and “laser” beam enemies from a distance. While the Krig has never had the best TTK, its minimal recoil is unmatched, making it incredibly easy to land every single shot on an opponent. JGOD pairs the Krig with the Sten, another underrated weapon that shreds opponents at close-quarters. This formidable setup is perfect for both Rebirth Island and Caldera, so don’t be afraid to test it out in your games. While the Krig may fall short when compared to the NZ-41 and Cooper Carbine, it’s ideal for players that struggle to control kickback. So, if you want a more reliable AR that’s significantly easier to use than the current meta options, this is the class for you.

JGOD reveals fastest killing EM2 Warzone loadout for Season 6 YT: JGOD / ActivisionWarzone content creator JGOD has unveiled his fastest killing EM2 loadout for Season 6, turning the Cold War AR into a reliable mid-range monster. The EM2 continues to be a solid choice in Warzone for those that enjoy melting their foes close to mid-range firefights. In fact, this Cold War AR has managed to break into the top 10 best Warzone weapons, thanks to its fantastic damage potential. While the EM2 may have fairly high recoil, the damage output from this class ensures your TTK is always incredibly fast. Whether you’re looking for a reliable rifle to use on Rebirth Island or just want to give this Assault Rifle a go, then JGOD’s best EM2 loadout should be a top pick for any Warzone player. JGOD’s EM2 Warzone Loadout Attachments Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 27.4″ Ranger – Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip – Magazine: 40 Rnd – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – JGOD’s EM2 loadout is tailored around boosting the gun’s overall damage, making it an incredibly viable mid-range option in Warzone. First up, is the Agency Suppressor and 27.4″ Ranger barrel. Both these attachments enhance the gun’s range, bullet velocity, recoil control, and even suppress your shots. Read More: JGOD creates “top tier” QBZ Warzone loadout – While the added recoil control from the Agency Suppressor and Field Agent Grip does help to alleviate things, the EM2 will still climb up the screen during prolonged engagements. This isn’t a problem in close-range engagements, but remember to pull down on your mouse/analog stick when going for long-range kills. The Axial Arms 3x optic will also help keep your shots on target at medium to longer ranges, while also making it easier to land those all-important headshot multipliers. Lastly, the 40 Rnd Magazine ensures you have the ammo to tear through enemy teams without having to constantly reload. While the EM2 is more than capable of eliminating players in close-quarter scenarios, JGOD has opted for the OTs 9 as his secondary. This pint-sized gun is currently the best SMG in the game thanks to its fast rate of fire and high damage.

JGOD reveals easy method to level up Vanguard weapons for Warzone Activision/YouTube: JGODMany Warzone and Vanguard players are still in the grinding process right now, leveling up Vanguard weapons so they’re ready for the new Caldera map when it arrives on December 8. CoD guru JGOD may have found the easiest method to complete this process — but it might not be fun. If you want to stay ahead of the Warzone meta, getting your Vanguard weapons to max level should be a top priority. When the Pacific integration brings the new Caldera map to Warzone, you’ll be thrown in with a mix of Modern Warfare, Cold War, and Vanguard weapons. Before long, though, the Vanguard weapons will likely start to become meta. If you want to stay ahead and not worry about hopping into Plunder to get the latest OP weapon leveled up, you’re going to want to get them done beforehand, and JGOD’s new method might be the easiest way to do it. Though this method doesn’t look particularly fun, it definitely seems efficient, as later explained by JGOD. In the clip below, JGOD shows off his new trick, which he used to level up his pistols among others. All he’s doing is pistol-whipping zombies before backing out and starting again. He says he kills about 35 zombies using this method, at which point he pulls himself out and loads up the Zombies mode once again. Using a New Leveling Strat for Zombies was able to get 3 pistols Max Level today. 7/7 Rifles 6/6 SMGs 1/4 Shotguns 3/4 LMGs 3/3 MRs 0/3 SRs 5/5 Pistols25/32 Max Level Weapons Yes I did this for 8 hours, tedious but efficient #Vanguard pic.twitter.com/6WSCrxju11 — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) November 23, 2021 JGOD went on to explain in a later tweet that he popped 2XP tokens to do it, and it took him around three hours to fully level each pistol from 1-60. He also added that this is possible for all weapons, and it took him around four hours each to get others up from 1-70 using this method. 3 Hours for each pistol from level 1-60 and its 4 hours for every other weapon from Level 1 to level 70. Thats total, not in game time. — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) November 23, 2021 So, if you’re struggling to really get those levels up while preparing for the new Warzone Pacific — or just to dominate in Vanguard’s multiplayer — this trick might be your best bet to move through them as quickly as possible.

JGOD reveals easy method to farm XP fast in Warzone Activision/YouTube: JGODJGOD has found the best way to farm weapon XP and go up in levels in Warzone’s Clash mode, making leveling up significantly easier for the most dedicated grinders in Verdansk. With the ever-progressing Warzone meta and new weapons coming every few weeks, it’s increasingly difficult for players to not only unlock new guns but to then fully level them up, making them a real force in Verdansk. If you don’t have access to the multiplayer modes in Modern Warfare, Black Ops Cold War or, before long, Vanguard, the task becomes significantly tougher. We already know of some easy XP methods in Plunder, simply dropping in Storage Town to farm kills or collect a bunch of contracts, but Clash looks like it could be a great way of leveling up seriously quickly. For this method, you’re still going to be chasing contracts, but it’s actually significantly easier in Clash than other modes to complete them. With so many Bounty contracts in the mode, which is essentially a 50v50 team deathmatch across Verdansk, it’s incredibly easy to grab a Bounty and either complete it with your teammates, or just let it get poached. Of course, you get way more XP if you complete the Bounty contract yourself, but as JGOD explains, you can actually complete 10-15 of these in one game and just watch the numbers fly up. Topic starts at 5:52 As JGOD explains, he was watching his weapons level up so quickly, from around 42 to 63, just by using this method of completing Bounties. Throughout the gameplay, since he’s completing so many contracts, JGOD is also constantly sitting on a huge pile of cash, throwing up Advanced UAVs whenever possible and tracking down enemies easily, with a little help from the Pointman perk. So whether you’re looking to get the new LAPA SMG fully leveled, or get the M1 Garand and STG 44 ready for the Vanguard integration, jumping into a few games of Clash could be the best way to get ahead of the meta.

JGOD reveals “deadly” Warzone SMG loadouts from MW & Black Ops Cold War Activision/YouTube: JGODCall of Duty: Vanguard weapons have virtually phased out CoD Black Ops Cold War and CoD Modern Warfare (2019) guns — but JGOD recently revealed a few throwback SMGs that are still viable in Warzone. Call of Duty YouTuber JGOD believes there are nine SMGs in the current Warzone meta after an increase to health was made across all core game modes in the Season 4 Reloaded update. The Warzone expert ranks the H4 Blixen and Armaguerra as the two best SMGs in the class, but he also mentioned a few Black Ops Cold War and Modern Warfare (2019) SMGs that don’t get the love they may deserve. The MW AUG, Lapa, OTs, and CX9 are all underrated SMGs and the YouTuber revealed the best loadouts for each gun. SMG Loadouts for Black Ops Cold War and Modern Warfare (2019) In JGODs YouTube video on June 7, he said, “It’s pretty obvious that they (the developers) want Vanguard weapons to be the meta weapons or the most used weapons within Warzone and we saw the same thing when everything shifted to the Cold War weapons.” He walks viewers through a number of throwback builds that can still get the job done, so let’s take a look at each of them… Lapa Warzone loadout The YouTuber starts by sharing classes for the Lapa and OTs from Black Ops Cold War. Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 7.9″ Rifled – Optic: Microflex LED – Stock: Raider Stock – Magazine: STANAG 50 Rnd – OTs Warzone loadout Next up – the OTs, which he said “used to be the GOAT of mobility, but it has gotten nerfed quite a bit. It is still good in terms of TTK but it does get harder to use past eight to 10 meters.” Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Barrel: 8.1″ Task Force – Stock: KGB Skeletal Stock – Magazine: VDV 40 Rnd Fast Mag – Rear Grip: Serpent Wrap – JGOD discussed the AUG and CX9 from Modern Warfare (2019) and said the guns have bad mobility but can still be used if you are super accurate. CX9 Warzone loadout Barrel: CX-38S – Lazer: Tac Lazer – Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip – Magazine: 50 Round Drum – Rear Grip: CX-9 Tac Grip – AUG Warzone loadout JGOD wrapped up his segment on throwback guns by sharing an AUG loadout. Muzzle: Lightweight Suppresor – Lazer: Tac Lazer – Stock: FTAC Ultralight Hollow – Magazine: 5.6 NATO 60-Round Drums – Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape – These throwback SMG loadouts are not top-tier meta weapons but are perfect for those who are looking for a change of pace or a rush of nostalgia.

JGOD reveals concerns with Warzone potentially adding Vanguard weapon bloom JGOD/ActivisionWarzone YouTuber JGOD says he is fearful of Call of Duty: Vanguard’s bloom system being added to the battle royale once the integration takes place in December. For the past few years, Call of Duty has had a predictive recoil system for weapons. As the name suggests, the recoil of a weapon is set in a predictable pattern regardless of attachments, making it easy to master a weapon. In Call of Duty: Vanguard, things have changed just a little bit. Players have uncovered the fact that weapons now have bloom and, based on the attachments you have on the weapon, will see some shots go off in a random direction. It has already annoyed quite a few players in multiplayer, with some calling for changes. However, in the case of JGOD, he’s got some concerns that the bloom feature could make its way over to Warzone and start impacting things there. Speaking in November 8 upload, the Warzone stats guru highlighted a number of key issues with the current state of Vanguard multiplayer – focusing mainly on the bug and other mishaps causing headaches for players, including bloom. Read More: OpTic Gaming signs up Warzone star ZLaner – “You can have your shot lined up to shoot and all of sudden the bullet goes wherever the heck it wants and not necessarily where you were aiming, which just lowers the skill gap,” he said of the new mechanic, pointing out how players will need to be aware of it moving forward. “It adds a randomized factor into an already low skill gap game. I’m a little bit fearful of them actually adding that over with the engine once Vanguard happens and integrates with the Pacific,” JGOD added. Topic begins at 4:09 As the YouTuber notes, the Flinch mechanic also has some issues in Vanguard, specifically with how much it affects aiming – throwing your crosshairs up into the sky and making gunfights impossible. Combined, the two could be a massive headache for Warzone players, though, we’ll have to wait and see if the developers make changes prior to the December integration.

JGOD reveals CoD Vanguard’s most underrated perk: “It’s completely broken” YouTube: JGOD / ActivisionWarzone mastermind JGOD has uncovered a “completely broken” perk in Call of Duty: Vanguard that will let you dominate the competition with uncanny ease. Call of Duty: Vanguard released on November 5, and like every year’s new CoD title, it’s taken the gaming world by storm. With a massive surge of players testing the waters, there are plenty of fans searching for the best ways to dominate the competition. While there are obvious choices, like the STG44 assault rifle and MP40 SMG, there are also plenty of underrated methods to get a leg-up on the competition. Now, Warzone statistician JGOD has uncovered a new strategy involving Vanguard’s Forward Intel perk that will let you absolutely destroy your opponents — before they even have a chance to fight back. JGOD reveals Vanguard’s most underrated perk In a video shared to his YouTube channel, JGOD revealed how using Forward Intel allows you to see exactly where your enemies spawn (including spawn-flips), which then allows you to establish uncontested map control and decimate the opposing team. “I haven’t really seen many people talk about [it],” he noted, explaining why many players might have forgone the perk for others in that slot. “At first glance, it doesn’t seem that powerful, but this is way more broken [than in previous games].” He then explained how the perk’s benefit, “seeing indicators for enemy reinforcements on your minimap” combined with Vanguard’s wacky spawn mechanics result in a “completely broken” experience for players utilizing the perk. “Look at all these spawns!” he remarked at one point, seemingly in disbelief over how easy it was for him to quickly turn and gun down his opponents as they loaded in. “You already know where to pre-aim,” he clarified, then explained his thought process while using Forward Intel. “You don’t [even] have to know where people are, based off map design and chokepoints you can get a good indication of where people are going to be.” He also compared the perk to its form in previous titles, remarking that “this was nowhere near this broken when we had it in a previous Call of Duty.” Based on its current state, developer Sledgehammer Games could very well take a balancing pass at Forward Intel in a future update, so make sure to add this perk to your Vanguard class setups while it’s still available in its broken form.

JGOD reveals C58 Warzone loadout similar to pre-nerf AMAX Activision/YouTube: JGODMany Warzone players are missing the CR-56 AMAX assault rifle since it was nerfed at the start of Season 4, but Warzone expert JGOD says the new C58 AR can easily replicate the AMAX with the right attachments. Since the launch of Season 4, the MG 82 assault rifle and FARA 83 have become the go-to weapons for long-range engagements. Before long, the MG 82 was nerfed as it was simply too powerful, but the meta remains pretty open, especially if you’re looking for a weapon to use at long range. The AMAX, for a long time, was by far the most popular weapon in the game, but now the feeling of it can be replicated with the C58. JGOD’s C58 class You can always rely on JGOD to get things pretty much spot on when it comes to Warzone. His analysis is some of the deepest and most accurate in the game, so what he says holds some serious weight. So, when he says a new gun can replicate the insane power of one that’s been nerfed, it’s definitely worth checking out. Here’s how JGOD builds his: Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 18.5” Task Force – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip – Ammunition: STANAG 55 Rnd – Pre-nerf, the AMAX was easily the first choice in most players’ loadouts. If the C58 can truly replicate the feeling of the AMAX and deal the damage to match, it could be a great sleeper choice when playing on Verdansk. As JGOD explains, this build maximizes bullet velocity and range as well as having almost no recoil. However, he says, the speed isn’t great, but this shouldn’t cause too many issues as it is specifically for long-range engagements. Of course, the FARA 83 is the most-picked weapon in the game since the MG nerf, and it’s well worth trying our recommended builds for the gun to see how it compares.

JGOD reveals “bugged” QBZ loadout making it one of Warzone’s best weapons YouTube: JGOD/ActivisionPopular Warzone YouTuber JGOD has revealed that the QBZ is a bit “bugged” at the moment, but in a good way, and it’s all because of the Salvo 60 Round Fast Mag attachment. Following the last few updates to Warzone, the QBZ has been receiving a bit more love from players, even if it still isn’t the most popular weapon in the battle royale. Currently, according to stats from WZRanked, it sits as the 27th most-used gun in the game, but it has been highlighted by some players as the next big thing. That includes JGOD who has hyped up the Cold War assault rifle over the last few weeks, including it in his choices for potential meta-changing weapons. Now, though, he’s shown how the weapon is ever so slightly “bugged.” The Warzone YouTuber, who is constantly testing weapons to stay ahead of the curve, has been inundated with calls to check out the QBZ and its two 60-round magazine attachments. After some testing, he came to the conclusion that there is something amiss. “Finally got around to testing it as people have mentioned it, but QBZ MAG is Bugged,” he said. JGOD noted that, while using the “meta builds” of “Last Muzzle, Last Barrel, 3x, and Recoil Grip” attachments, the Salvo 60 Round Fast Mag has a faster ADS and reload time than the Stanag 60 Rnd Drum, clocking in at 88 and 33 milliseconds quicker, respectively. Finally got around to testing it as people have mentioned it, but QBZ MAG is Bugged w/Meta Builds (Last Muzzle, Last Barrel, 3x, Recoil Grip) Stanag 60 Rnd Drum 400ms ADS 1.568s Reload Add TimeSalvo 60 Rnd Fast Mag 317ms ADS (83ms Faster) 1.535s Reload Add Time (33ms Faster)— James – JGOD (@JGODYT) July 24, 2021 Some fans suggested that he should keep things quiet to avoid getting the QBZ changed by Raven, but with it being JGOD, he’s always pointing out when something is wrong. It remains to be seen if the devs will spring into action and fix things, or if players will get a chance to abuse it for a while yet.

JGOD reveals biggest concern with Warzone’s new anti-cheat & Vanguard integration YouTube: JGOD/ActivisionPopular Warzone YouTuber JGOD isn’t sure that the battle royale’s new anti-cheat is going to be the be-all and end-all for the hacking issues and Vanguard’s integration could cause further problems. Hacking and cheating has been a thing since pretty much the very start of Warzone. Back then, the cheats were the basics – aimbots, wallhacks, and god mode – but they’ve increasingly different over time. Now if you drop into a game, you’re likely to find somebody spinbotting or speed hacking across the map, racking up an insane amount of kills and ruining the experience for everyone else. The community’s repeated calls for an anti-cheat have finally been answered as one will be coming in Vanguard, but JGOD isn’t quite sure if it’ll exactly be the answer to the game’s problems. Speaking in his September 4 video, the popular Warzone YouTuber was going over the evolution of the cheats in the battle royale when he raised concerns about what cheat creators might be able to do with a new engine. “These weren’t day one cheats in Warzone. People have been out there developing it. So, my concern is that when this integration happens and Warzone gets implemented with this new anti-cheat and map, what cheats are going to be developed that they didn’t account for?” the YouTuber said. JGOD did note that hardware bans have cut down cheaters quite a bit but it’s still something the developers have to continue pressing on with. Timestamp of 1:20 “I don’t have a lot of faith in this Vanguard integration. Like, I’m hoping for the best but expecting the worst,” he continued, noting that cheat creators and sellers are determined enough to get around any obstacles put in their way. He did add that anti-cheat works as planned, it should cut down on the number of cheaters that you interact with within a game but it’s difficult to fully root out cheaters. If someone wants to get an illegal advantage, they probably will.

JGOD reveals best Warzone loadouts to dominate Season 6 YouTube: JGOD/ActivisionWith Season 6 just underway, Warzone guru, JGOD revealed his top 10 loadouts to dominate the competition in the current meta. In the final season of Warzone before Vanguard integration, things can get really hectic on Verdansk. Raven Software dropped a huge update as it is likely the final time we will see this map. As Season 6 gets underway, people are slowly getting a hang of the meta that is developing after all the changes. The devs added some new weapons like the Grav and .410 Ironhide that could have a big impact this season. While weapons like the OTs 9, Kar98k, and MP5 dominated last season, there are other weapons like the AK-74u that are looking to make some noise as Season 6 of Warzone unfolds. As is traditional for the each mid-season update, Warzone YouTuber JGOD highlighted 10 classes that can help players dominate when jumping into Verdansk and Rebirth Island. Of course, these loadouts won’t guarantee a victory – you’ll have to rely on much more than just your weapons to make that happen – but they will help a fair bit in getting close to the top. So, if you’re looking for something new to use, one of these classes might be perfect, given there is a wide selection of weapons to choose from. 10. FiNN LMG & MP5 (MW) FiNN LMG Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor – Barrel: XRK LongShot Adverse – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Laser: Tac Laser – Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip – MP5 (MW) Barrel: Monolithic Integral Suppressor – Laser: 5mW Laser – Stock: FTAC Collapsible – Magazine: 45 Round Mags – Perk: Sleight of Hand – 9.

JGOD thinks this gun’s build allows you to clean up a lot gunfights that you start with the Swiss. 5. AK-47 (CW) & Kar98k AK-47 (CW) Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Optic: Microflex LED – Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Grip – Rear Grip: Serpent Wrap – Ammunition: 45 Rnd – Kar98k Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor – Barrel: Singuard Custom 27.6″ – Optic: Sniper Scope – Laser: Tac Laser – Stock: STVOL Precision Comb – 4. EM2 & Mac-10 EM2 Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 25.8″ Task Force – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip – Ammunition: 40 Rnd – MAC-10 Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 5.9″ Task Force – Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight – Stock: Raider Stock – Ammunition: STANAG 53 Round Drum – The EM2 is considered to be really broken as there is very little recoil with these attachments. Pair it up with the MAC-10 and you can certainly drop a lot of kills on Verdansk. 3. FARA 83 & OTs 9 FARA 83 Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Barrel: 19.5″ Liberator – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Underbarrel: Spesnaz Grip – Ammunition: Spetsnaz 60 Round – OTs 9 Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Barrel: 8.1″ Task Force – Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight – Stock: KGB Skeletal Stock – Ammunition: VDV 40 Round Fast Mag – 2.

AK-47 (CW) & Bullfrog AK-47 (CW) Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Barrel: 20″ Spetsnaz RPK Barrel – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Grip – Ammunition: 45 Rnd – Bullfrog Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Barrel: 7.4″ Task Force – Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight – Stock: KGB Skeletal Stock – Underbarrel: Bruiser Grip – A new combo found its way to the top of JGOD’s rankings with Season 6, with the guru pairing the AK-47 with the close-range Bullfrog for his best meta loadout. You can always experiment with the attachments if they don’t quite fit your style, but these loadouts are the way to go according to JGOD’s research. For now, you may as well try these out if you haven’t yet, as the Warzone statistician’s recommendations are typically spot-on.

JGOD reveals best Warzone perks to use ahead of Season 2 update Activision / JGODAs Warzone players prepare for Season 2, expert JGOD takes a look at every perk in the battle royale and reveals which ones are the best to use. There are a lot of customization options available in Warzone. From different in-game cosmetics to thousands of weapon loadouts, the possibilities are endless. While it’s important to make sure you are using the meta weapons, something that can go overlooked is the rest of the setup. That’s why Warzone guru JGOD has gone ahead and given a breakdown for each perk in the game and says which ones are must-use in Season 2. JGOD shows which Warzone perks are the best In a YouTube video, JGOD talks about which perks are the most effective and why you should use them ahead of Season 2. Since there are three different categories of perks, we have broken up JGOD’s opinion on which ones are the best to use. Best Perk 1 E.O.D. – Cold Blooded – Depending on playstyle, E.O.D. and Cold Blooded are the two most essential perks to run. E.O.D. will protect you from grenades and blasts why Cold Blooded keeps you hidden from Combat Scout and thermals. For the second category you will notice that almost all of the options are great to use. Best Perk 2 Restock – Overkill – Tempered – High Alert – Ghost – JGOD believes that this section of perks is the most “competitive.” All five of the perks listed above shine in their own way. Overkill lets you have an amazon loadout. Restock helps keep stuns in your pocket to setup kills. Tempered saves armor plates, High Alert makes it easier to stay alive, and Ghost lets you stay hidden from UAVs. You will want to pick one of those and pair it up with one of these last two perks. Best Perk 3 Amped – Combat Scout – In the final category there are only two viable options according JGOD. Amped, which allows you to swap weapons faster, and Combat Scout, which lets you track enemies after doing damage to them. These two are the best in perks in the class and are great with the other options above. As you prepare for the next season, make sure you are running with a combination of these as JGOD believes it will help tremendously.

JGOD reveals best Warzone loadouts for all playstyles in Season 5 YouTube: JGOD/ActivisionPopular Warzone YouTuber JGOD has showcased the best meta loadouts for every single playstyle, including long-range, close quarters, sniper support, and more. One of the most challenging aspects of Warzone is picking a loadout that fits your playstyle and allows you to get the upper hand over your opponents. Whether you’re a fan of pushing aggressively and taking close-quarter gunfights or picking off opponents from afar with a sniper, there’s a setup for you, it’s just a case of finding it. Luckily, popular Warzone content creator JGOD has simplified the process by outlining the best loadouts for every single playstyle. As JGOD is always keeping track of all the gun stats in Warzone, one of the setups below is guaranteed to improve your KD on Verdansk. Don’t forget to experiment with all of his picks, and feel free to tweak the attachments if any of them don’t feel right for you. Best close-range Warzone loadout: MAC-10 Attachments: Barrel: 5.9″ Task Force – Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight – Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Ammunition: 53 Round Mags – Stock: Raider Stock – In JGOD’s eyes, the MAC-10 remains one of the best close-quarters options in the current meta as the weapon has a ludicrously high fire rate and can take out enemies in an instant. With the setup above, you’ll be maximizing the weapon’s damage output, meaning this is the perfect loadout for any aggressive players who love to take skirmishes. Best long-range Warzone loadout: Stoner 63 Attachments: Barrel: 21.8″ Task Force – Underbarrel: Field Agent Foregrip – Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Rear Grip: Serpent Wrap – When it comes to ease of use and fast TTK, you can’t go wrong with the Stoner 63. This LMG absolutely melts enemies at long range with the Axial Arms 3x and Field Agent Foregrip. Both these attachments make it simple to track enemies and keep the weapon’s recoil to a minimum. If you’re looking for a primary that always deals hefty damage at long range, it’s worth picking up the Stoner. Best sniper Warzone loadout: Kar98k Attachments Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor – Barrel: Singuard Custom 27.6” – Laser: Tac Laser – Optic: Sniper Scope – Stock: FTAC Sport Comb – When it comes down to snipers, JGOD outlines there are two meta options in the Swiss K31 and the Kar98k. However, for him, the Kar98k comes out on top just because of the way the Swiss zooms in when you use the scope. Both snipers are lethal at long distances and the loadout above will ensure you one-shot all your enemies with a well-placed headshot. Best sniper support Warzone loadout: CW AK47 Attachments Ammunition: 45 Round Mag – Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Grip – Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Optic: Microflex LED – Rear Grip: Serpent Wrap – When it comes to sniper support, it’s all about being able to dominate opponents at close to medium and for JGOD, the Cold War AK47 is the best option. This loadout maximizes ADS speed, making it easy to get the first shot off on an opponent and giving you the best chance to win a gunfight. Not only that, the attachments bolster the AK47’s heavy recoil pattern and allow you to lock onto targets. Best secondary Warzone loadout: M19 Attachments Perk: Akimbo – Laser: 5mW – Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor – Trigger Action: Lightweight Trigger – Ammunition: 32 Round Mags – The M19 is the perfect secondary whenever you’re not running Overkill on one of your loadouts. The Akimbo pistols offer huge damage at close range and make it easy to dispatch any opponents pushing your position. They may not be as strong as an Overkill secondary, but they’re perfect if you want to create a strong Ghost loadout. So, there you have, those are all of JGOD’s best loadouts for every playstyle in the current meta. Keep in mind, although these are the meta attachments, it’s key you change any that don’t fit your preference, so feel free to tweak the setups where necessary.

JGOD reveals best Warzone close-range loadouts to replace MP-40 in Season 2 Activision / JGODWith Warzone Pacific Season 2, expert JGOD breaks down all of the SMGs in the game and reveals his best close-range loadouts following the MP-40 nerfs. Season 2 of Warzone dropped on February 14 and with it came some quality of life changes, weapon balancing, and more. One of the biggest things was the nerf to the MP-40, which was by far the best submachine gun in the game for Season 1. Now, JGOD has taken a look at the other options in the class and picked his top loadouts to replace the MP-40 meta. JGOD picks top Warzone close-range meta loadouts In a YouTube video, Warzone content creator JGOD breaks down the changes from the Season 2 update. This saw new guns like the Type 100, Welgun, and others climb back into the meta. With the MP-40 becoming weaker and no one knowing where the close-range meta is heading, JGOD steers the community in the direction he feels fits best. Here are the top loadouts that JGOD recommends using while playing Warzone Pacific Season 2. Type 100 Season 2 loadout Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: Warubachi 134mm Rapid – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Sakura Type 2 – Underbarrel: Carver Foregrip – Magazine: 8mm Kurz 48 Round Drum – Ammo Type: Hollow Point – Rear Grip: Pine Tar Grip – Perk: Gung-ho – Perk 2: Quick – The best close-range loadout that JGOD has is with the Type 100. This guns posted the fastest TTK in Season 2 and offers the best hip-fire build in the Vanguard weapon pool. He believes this will be the front-runner, much like the MP-40 was, to dominate until it gets nerfed. However, his next choice in the Welgun, is another great option, especially if the Type 100 gets weakened. Welgun Season 2 loadout Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: 320mm SA Shrouded – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Removed Stock – Underbarrel: m1941 Hand Stop – Magazine: .45 48 Round Mags – Ammo Type: Hollow Point – Rear Grip: Leather Grip – Perk 1: Acrobatic – Perk 2: Quick – Vanguard’s Welgun has already been claimed as the best by TrueGameData but JGOD puts it in second. Due to its difficult recoil and kill speed, JGOD doesn’t see it as his immediate got- but believes it deserves the spot in his top close-range loadouts. MW AUG Season 2 loadout If you step away from Vanguard exclusive game modes then these next two loadouts will be for you. The MW AUG is making a return and can compete with these other SMGs that are in the meta. Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor – Laser: Tac Laser – Stock: FORGE TAC CQB Comb – Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape – Magazine 5.56 NATO 60-Round Drum – This is the same as his previous build, which gives this gun assault rifle bullets and an insane TTK. This is his highest ranked non-Vanguard weapon on his list. Jak-12 Season 2 loadout For players that enjoy the shotgun meta, the Jak-12 is actually a powerful option. While it is only useful within 10 meters of an enemy, JGOD claims this will kill the fastest but drops off really quick. Muzzle: FORGE TAC Marauder – Barrel: ZLR J-3600 Torrent – Laser: 5mW Laser – Magazine: 20 Round Drum Mags – Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape – His Jak setup is fully optimized for hip-fire only and to stay within five meters of opponents. This will shred opponents in the blink of an eye and can be paired up nicely with a medium-range gun. If you’re still struggling with close-range fights without the MP-40, then definitely give one of these loadouts a spin in your next Warzone game.

JGOD reveals best Warzone AR and its not the M13B ActivisionCommunity members crowned the M13B as Warzone’s best AR, but JGOD believes the Kastov 762 deserves more attention. For two seasons, and possibly even longer, the Cronen Squall reigned supreme in Warzone. The WZ devs responded with four separate nerfs, including the most recent September 6 update. Even though the battle rifle is still considered a meta weapon, the M13B has taken over the spotlight. According to WZ Ranked, the M13B leads all weapons with a 24.8% pick rate after the AR saw an increase to all location damage multipliers in the Season 5 Reloaded update. The fast-firing rifle is extremely easy to use, and its mobility makes it viable in Al Mazrah and Resurgence matches. Despite being versatile and touted as the next big thing, JGOD urged players to slow their roll on the M13B. What is the best AR in Warzone Season 5 Reloaded? JGOD tested the time-to-kill stats of every meta Season 5 Reloaded weapon to find the best long-range meta weapon. The YouTuber explained why he doesn’t like the M13B: “It is a reliable gun, but I personally don’t particularly like it. I wish it had an 80-round mag because maybe it would be my go-to as a fast-firing gun.” Even though the M13B has a 60-round mag, JGOD argued the AR shoots too fast and burns through ammo faster than he would like. So instead, the Warzone guru recommended the Kastov 762 and claimed: “The great part about this gun is the fast reload.” JGOD revealed the well-known trick, if players reload with more than one bullet, it is faster. Best Kastov 762 loadout Here is JGOD’s go-to Kastov 762 loadout. Muzzle: ZLR Talon 5 (0.54, 0.77) – Barrel: KAS-10 584MM Barrel (0.37, -0.25) – Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56 (+0.59, +0.28) – Optic: AIM OP-V4 (+0.77, -1.65) – Magazine: 40 Round Mag – If the Kastov 762 isn’t for you, make sure to check out our choices for the best Warzone ARs.

JGOD reveals best Warzone 2 underwater loadout after pistol nerf ActivisionNerfs to the FTAC Siege and X13 opened the door for a new best underwater weapon in Warzone 2. JGOD revealed why the P890 should be at the top of meta lists. Warzone 2’s latest map Vondel features several waterways. Players can use the water to escape an engagement, rotate to a new circle, or even sneak up on unsuspecting foes. However, community members have been vocal in disapproving of the battle royale sequels’ use of water. Players pointed to the lack of indicators when an enemy is with them. With no sound and blurred vision, it makes swimmers sitting ducks. And some community members don’t understand why players can only use pistols underwater. Despite overwhelming discontent, the devs have shown no signs of changing how water works in Warzone 2. So with that in mind, JGOD revealed the best underwater pistol loadout. What is the best underwater loadout in Warzone 2? If the final circle finishes in water, it’s essential for a player to have a pistol loadout ready in one of their slots. The X13 and FTAC Siege dominated Season 4’s close-range meta, but a nerf on July 24 saw that dynamic shift. Both overpowered pistols had their maximum damage decreased, and the X13 damage profile wasn’t working as intended. JGOD identified the P890 as a potential replacement for both automatic pistols. JGOD explained: “I think this is the best underwater pistol in terms of TTK because of how water mechanics work.” The YouTuber elaborated that the P890 stands out because its damage doesn’t drop off as harshly compared to other class offerings. Best P890 Warzone 2 loadout Here is JGOD’s P890 loadout with attachment tuning included. Barrel: Matuzek Cottonmouth (+0.34, +0.25) – Trigger Action: Bruen Express (-0.09, +0.06) – Laser: Series 710 Pistol Laser (-0.27, +39.48) – Rear Grip: FJX DVF60 Grip (+0.66, -0.34) – Magazine: 12-Round Mag – A 12-round mag and disorienting visual recoil hold the P890 back, but JGOD believes it still outclasses the other options. The YouTuber admitted that the X12 has better recoil but requires more skill because players must spam the right trigger to maximize its potential.

JGOD reveals best Warzone 2 ISO Hemlock alternatives in Season 3 Reloaded Activision/YouTube: JGODPlayers use the ISO Hemlock more than any other weapon in Warzone 2, but JGOD provided a few viable alternatives. Season 3 Reloaded attempted to slow down time-to-kill speeds in close-range engagements while also making it easier for weapons to hit enemies further away. The developers added new damage values to help accomplish their goal. However, True Game Data tested the mid-season update changes and concluded that the new damage values didn’t really have an impact on the TTK. Warzone 2’s long-range meta didn’t change without much of a change to gunfights. According to WZ Ranked, The ISO Hemlock is far and away still the most popular weapon in the battle royale sequel. JGOD went against the grain and explained why the TTK changes actually elevated a few long-range alternatives. What is the best long-range meta weapon in Warzone 2? Using data collected by True Game Data, JGOD compared different AR TTK speeds after the Season 3 Reloaded update. JGOD discovered it takes around 13 shots to fully down an enemy with the Lachmann 556, bringing its TTK to around 996 milliseconds. The YouTuber also factored in that if a player lands a headshot after breaking an enemy’s armor, the speed could improve to around 913 and 12 shots to kill. With the new TTK changes, JGOD argued that in some instances, if a player lands a headshot while the opponent still has plates on, it won’t kill them in fewer bullets. JGOD did the same testing on the Kastov 545 and ISO Hemlock. He concluded that the Kastov 545 has a TTK of around 1012 and 12 shots, which could improve to 920 and 11 shots with a non-armor headshot. And the ISO Hemlock kills in 996ms and 13 shots, which could get bumped up to 913 and 12 shots. Next, JGOD tested all three weapons in-game. “Overall, the Lachmann 556 performed very well. I think the Kastov 545 feels pretty good.” The YouTuber admitted that players will most likely still lean toward the Hemlock because players can kill in five chest and three headshots. That shouldn’t discount the other two options, as JGOD pointed out that the Kastov 545 and Lachmann 556 have 60-round mags, while the Hemlock can only carry 45-round mags. Both AR alternatives also benefit from an easy-to-control recoil pattern. It will be interesting to see if Warzone 2’s long-range meta shifts at all as players become more familiar with the new TTK in Season 3 Reloaded.

JGOD reveals best NZ-41 Warzone loadout after “huge” Season 3 Reloaded buff ActivisionWarzone statistician JGOD has outlined his go-to NZ-41 loadout following the Season 3 Reloaded update, in which the Vanguard rifle received a significant buff. Seasonal and mid-season updates have long brought the most significant changes to Call of Duty: Warzone, a fact that remained true with the Season 3 Reloaded patch that dropped back on May 25. Among other things – like Stim Shot nerfs and reduced lobby sizes – the update saw a number of Vanguard assault rifles buffed considerably, hoping to bring them in line with historically powerful Modern Warfare and Cold War weapons like the Kilo 141 or AK-47. Now, according to Warzone expert and YouTuber JGOD, the NZ-41 is among the best weapons in the battle royale, thanks to its “huge buff”. In a June 4 video, he explained that the buff has left the NZ-41 as one of the strongest weapons in the game thanks to its medium to long-range capabilities and an absurd lack of recoil. “The NZ-41 finally got the buff it desperately needed to make it the number one weapon currently in Warzone for long-range,” he said. Outlining the changes, he noted that the minimum damage was increased to 34 from 32, meaning even at the longest of ranges each connecting shot will do an extra 2 damage. Pair this with the recoil buffs and muzzle velocity improvements, and the NZ-41 has been transformed into a laser with no discernible kick. Summarizing, JGOD said: “They definitely made this thing one of the best weapons in the entire game.” His recommended class setup is outlined below: Muzzle: MX Silencer – Barrel: LOR MK1 Burst – Optic: G16 2.5x – Stock: Orbweaver E Pack – Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop – Magazine: 6.5mm Sakura 50 Round Mags – Ammunition: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Hatched Grip – Perk: Brace – Perk 2: Fully Loaded – One thing to note about the attachments is that the LOR MK1 Burst has a toggle to make it fire fully automatic. JGOD strongly recommends doing this to maximize TTK and allow the NZ-41 to fire as fast as it can. Naturally, players will need a close-range secondary and, for that, there are few options better than the current H4 Blixen.

JGOD reveals best meta sniper support Warzone loadout after Season 2 Reloaded JGOD/Treyarch/Raven SoftwareWarzone guru and YouTuber JGOD has revealed what he thinks is the best sniper support loadout in Season 2 Reloaded. Over the years, Warzone’s arsenal of weapons has continued to grow and although that gives players countless customization options, it can be difficult to know which guns are worth using. This is especially true when looking to create a versatile loadout, as it’s important your setup is capable of competing in every gunfight, no matter the range. As a result, a lot of the community gravitates toward “sniper support” classes which offer the long-range threat of the rifle, and a medium-range AR or SMG that can eliminate enemies at close to medium distances. Luckily, Warzone YouTuber JGOD has outlined the perfect sniper support class in Season 2 Reloaded, and it’s deadly on both Caldera and Rebirth Island. JGOD’s Kar98k & Cooper Carbine sniper support class Kar98k Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor – Barrel: Singuard Custom 27.6″ – Laser: Tac Laser – Optic: Sniper Scope – Stock: STVOL Precision Comb – Cooper Carbine Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: 22″ Cooper Custom – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Removed Stock – Underbarrel: Mark VI Skeletal – Magazine: 9mm 60 Round Drums – Ammunition: Compressed Rounds – Rear Grip: Leather Grip – Perk1: Tight Grip – Perk2: Fully Loaded – Although JGOD outlines 10 sniper support options in his video and gives a special shoutout to the Milano and Cold War AK47, it’s the Cooper Carbine that takes the top spot in the current meta. Describing it as “arguably the best weapon for sniper support” in Season 2 Reloaded, the Cooper Carbine has an incredible ADS time, excellent mobility, and a solid rate of fire. This makes it the perfect sniper support weapon as it thrives at medium to close range when kitted out with the correct attachments. Not only that, the gun has a lethal TTK which is only enhanced by the Recoil Booster and 22″ Cooper Custom. In the sniper slot, JGOD showcases the Swiss K31 and the Kar98k as both options are considered top tier, so the choice ultimately comes down to preference. However, we’ve decided to include the Kar98k as it’s currently the more popular option and deals deadly headshot damage at long range. This allows you to pick off enemies at a distance, and if a squad decides to push your position, the Cooper Carbine will dispatch them with ease. It’s worth remembering that attachments all come down to preference, so experimenting and changing them up will benefit your performance in the long run.

JGOD reveals best pro player loadouts for $300k World Series of Warzone tournament YouTube: JGODThe World Series of Warzone is right around the corner, and JGOD revealed the best loadouts for the battle royale’s biggest tournament. The second annual World Series of Warzone features 40 teams from NA & EU, competing for $600,000 spread across each region. 20 trios earned their spot through qualification, and the other 20 teams received direct invites. Warzone expert JGOD picked out six weapons that you can expect to see dominating in the World Series of Warzone. JGOD reveals six best competitive Warzone loadouts JGOD revealed the 10 best Warzone loadouts, featuring six weapons perfect for using with $300,000 on the line. The YouTuber explained, “This is what people will use when they are competing head to head in the most competitive lobbies in World Series of Warzone.” All six weapons can be interchanged with the common theme of having one short-range and long-range weapon at all times. Armaguerra JGOD claimed the Armaguerra 43 is “the ultimate sniper support weapon” because it is versatile in close to medium-range engagements. Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: Boti 570mm Precisione – Optic: Slate reflector – Stock: Imerito TA Skeletal – Underbarrel: Mark VI Skeltal – Magazine: 9mm 60 Round Mags – Ammunition: Hollow Point – Rear Grip: Taped Grip – Perk 1: Sleight of Hand – Perk 2: Quick – 3-Line Rifle Snipers received a massive buff in Season 5, and the 3-Line Rifle ranks as the most popular. Muzzle: Mercury Silencer – Barrel: Kovalevskaya 820mm R1N – Optic: 1913 Variable 4-8x – Stock: ZAC Custom MZ – Underbarrel: Heavy Foregrip – Magazine: 30-06 20 Round Mags – Ammunition: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Polymer Grip – Perk 1: Silent Focus – Perk 2: On-Hand – H4 Blixen The Blixen was nerfed in Season 5, and JGOD claimed the weapon takes more skill to use now. However, it is still a meta weapon and an easy choice for competitive matches. Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: Jonsson 9″ RMK – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Removed Stock – Underbarrel: SG98 Compact – Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 54 Round Mags – Ammunition: Hollow Point – Rear Grip: Taped Grip – Perk 1: Fleet – Perk 2: Quick – Automaton The fast-firing Vanguard AR avoided any nerfs in the most recent wave of balance changes. The Automaton remains a top pick for competitive Warzone players. Muzzle: MX Silencer – Barrel: ZAC 600m BFA – Optic: M38/Slate 2 5x Custom – Stock: Anastasia Padded – Underbarrel: Carver Foregrip – Magazine: 5mm Sakura 75 Round Drum Mag – Ammunition: Lenghthened – Rear Grip: Polymer Grip – Perk 1: Tight Grip – Perk 2: On-Hand – PPSh The PPSh shot up the popularity rankings in Season 5 and is currently the second most popular SMG. Its excellent recoil makes the SMG viable hip-fire or ADS, resulting in a deadly close-range option. Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: Kovlevskaya 230mm B03P – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Removed Stock – Underbarrel: Mark VI Skeltal – Magazine: Nambu 71 Round Mags – Ammunition: Subsonic – Rear Grip: Pine Tar Grip – Perk 1: Tight Grip – Perk 2: Quick – UGM 8 LMGS are few and far between in Warzone’s meta, but the UGM 8 packs a punch, and its large magazine is perfect for trios or quads matches. Muzzle: MX Silencer – Barrel: Bernard XL214 736mm – Optic: M38/Slate 2 5x Custom – Stock: Mercier WT Ancre – Underbarrel: M1930 Stife Angled – Magazine: 6.5 mm Sakura 125 Round – Ammunition: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Hatched Grip – Perk 1: Tight Grip – Perk 2: On-Hand – If you struggle to compete at the highest level in Warzone, give these loadouts a try and take your game to the next level.

JGOD reveals best Krig 6 Warzone loadout ahead of C58 nerf Activision / JGODCall of Duty content creator JGOD has revealed his meta Krig 6 loadout that is melting the competition in Season 4. The Krig 6 has always been one of the most viable Cold War weapons in Warzone, but the Season 4 Reloaded weapon update has only reaffirmed this. Unlike the vast majority of meta ARs, the Krig 6 has managed to avoid taking any significant hits to its damage. Because of this, both causal and competitive players have been using the Krig to devastating effect in Verdansk. With its methodical fire rate, incredible accuracy, and high damage – the Krig has quickly become the best pick for those looking to increase their win rate. Even JGOD believes the Krig is one of the best weapons in Warzone, demonstrating just how lethal it truly is with a truly devastating build. JGOD’s Krig 6 loadout Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 19.7” Ranger – Optic: Axial Arms 3.0x Optic – Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip – Magazine: STANAG 60 Rnd – Just like the majority of Cold War’s AR loadouts, JGOD’s Krig 6 build utilizes the Agency Suppressor. This particular muzzle increases everything from the Krig’s bullet velocity, sound suppression, and damage range. When paired with the added distance from the 19.7” Ranger, you have a weapon that excels at taking down targets across mid to long-range distances. In order to help ensure the Krig’s bullets are as lethal as possible, JGOD has attached the Axial Arms 3.0x Optic. Not only does this give you one of the cleanest sights in the game, but it also makes getting those all-important headshot multipliers that much easier. Timestamp of 0:27 Of course, this is only made possible thanks to the Field Agent Grip. While the Krig doesn’t have huge amounts of recoil, having an attachment that lowers both the gun’s vertical and horizontal recoil is huge. In fact, the Krig barely moves at all when going full-auto, which enables you to purely focus on beaming your enemies. Read More: Best Warzone Assault Rifle class loadouts – Lastly, the STANAG 60 Rnd mags give you more than enough bullets to break enemy armor and down multiple enemies. Whether Raven Software will adjust the Krig 6 even further remains to be seen, but for now, this is one gun you’ll definitely want to be using.

JGOD reveals best Cronen Squall replacement after Warzone Season 4 nerf ActivisonInfinity Ward finally nerfed the Cronen Squall in Warzone Season 4, and JGOD revealed an early contender for the next king of long-range meta weapons. Gunfights in Warzone are about to feel very different after the Season 4 update. Base operator health increased from 100 to 150, bringing maximum health up to 300 for a fully armored player. This change makes it easier for players to escape engagements with enemies and also forces users to land more of their shots as it takes more to earn an elimination. Season 4 also finally nerfed the Cronen Squal, opening the door for a new long-range meta. Taking into account the TTK changes and Cronen Squall nerf, JGOD made a case for the HCR 56 becoming the new sheriff in town. What is the best long-range meta weapon in Warzone Season 4? JGOD compiled TTK stats for every long-range meta weapon in Warzone after the Season 4 health increase and concluded that the HCR 56 could potentially replace the Cronen Squall or at least give the fan-favorite weapon a run for its money. “The HCR will probably be a sneakily good frontrunner because it has less recoil than the Cronen Squall.” When talking about ARs JGOD claimed “they still have decent TTKs, but in a practical sense, trying to down someone and thirst them. You are likely going to get caught reloading and likely die. Best HCR 56 loadout for Warzone Season 4 Here is JGOD’s go-to HCR 56 loadout, with attachment tuning included. Muzzle: Harbinger D20 (+1.08, +0.48) – Barrel: FTAC Hornet 20″ Barrel (+0.34, -0.23) – Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56 ( +0.59, +0.30) – Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity (-0.29, -4.06) – Optic: Aim Op-V4 (-0.58, +1.80) – JGOD believes that the HCR 56 sets itself apart from other long-range options because its base magazine size of 60 bullets allows you to equip 5.56 High-Velocity ammunition instead of worrying about a larger magazine. “High velocity is really nice because your bullets feel like they are actually registering a little bit. This gun doesn’t have a ton of recoil, and you don’t need an extended magazine because 60 is plenty.” With all meta changes, settling in will take some time as players discover their new favorite weapons. For more on Warzone Season 4, make sure to check out the full patch notes.

JGOD reveals best “close-range meta” Warzone loadout in Season 2 Reloaded YouTube: JGOD/ActivisionWarzone guru and YouTuber JGOD has revealed what he thinks is the best close-quarter loadout for dominating matches in Season 2 Reloaded. In every major update, Warzone’s arsenal of weapons continues to grow and it was certainly no different with Season 2 Reloaded. The patch added the Armaguerra 43, a deadly SMG with a lethal fire rate that’s perfect for close-range skirmishes. Although these new guns give players more customization and choice, it makes it difficult to pinpoint which loadouts are optimal in the current meta. While you could experiment with countless setups for yourself, it’s often better to let an expert do the thinking for you, that way you can jump into a match knowing you have an effective and strong loadout. Luckily, Warzone YouTuber JGOD has all the answers, and he’s even revealed the best “close-quarter meta” loadout after the Season 2 Reloaded update. JGOD’s MP40 & Jak-12 Warzone loadout MP40 Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: VDD 189mm Short – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Krausnick 33M Folding – Underbarrel: m1941 Hand Stop – Magazine: 62 Gorenko 45 Round Mag – Ammo Type: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Fabric Grip – Perk: Brace – Perk1: Quick – Jak 12 Muzzle: FORGE TAC Marauder – Barrel: ZLR J03699 Torrent – Laser: 5mW Laser – Magazine: 20 Round Drum Mags – Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape – Perks Double Time – Overkill – Amped – It’s no surprise JGOD has picked out the MP40 for his close-range meta setup, as the SMG is currently the most popular weapon in the entire game. With a lethal TTK and impressive mobility, it’s perfect for eliminating enemies at close quarters on both Rebirth Island and Caldera. JGOD’s loadout for the gun pushes the MP40’s fire rate to the limit while also boosting the weapon’s mobility. This is absolutely essential in chaotic skirmishes and will give you an opportunity to outmaneuver your opponents. Alongside the MP40, the Warzone guru has decided to run the Jak-12, a Modern Warfare shotgun that has unmatched face-to-face damage. Although the weapon has a low overall pick rate among the community, it’s slowly garnering popularity and may become a staple pick on Rebirth Island in the near future. Without a doubt, this is the gun you need to have equipped while clearing out enemies from enclosed spaces. While these are JGOD’s top picks for the ideal “close-range meta” loadout, he showcases a range of other weapons if the MP40 and Jak 12 do not fit your style of play. It’s worth remembering that attachments all come down to preference, so experimenting and changing them up will benefit your performance in the long run.

JGOD reveals best close-range loadouts after Season 5 Reloaded nerfs Activision / JGODWarzone’s Season 5 Reloaded update is finally here, bringing tons of new content and weapon balancing. These weapon changes affected some of the meta weapons, but JGOD shows which short-range weapons still run Verdansk. The Season 5 Reloaded update for Warzone can possibly shake up the meta. With guns like the MP5 and OTs 9 getting nerfed, the close-range meta was put into question following this patch. While players may be struggling to figure out which SMGs are the best right now, JGOD has compiled a list and given his take on the best loadouts following this update. JGOD’s top 3 short-range loadouts for Season 5 Reloaded In his latest video, Warzone content creator JGOD breaks down the changes from the new update. This saw some guns like the DMR and OTs 9 getting nerfed. While these changes to the OTs 9 make the gun much weaker at medium-range, JGOD believes the OTs is still the king of short-range. He said, “Even though it got nerfed it’s kinda broken in that range.” Here are the top loadouts that JGOD recommends using while playing Warzone’s Season 5 Reloaded. OTs 9 Season 5 Reloaded loadout Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Barrel: 8.1” Task Force – Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight – Stock: KGB Skeletal Stock – Ammunition: VDV 40 Rnd Fast Mag – While the OTs 9 saw a decrease in its maximum range damage, JGOD points out that this gun still has the fastest TTK for a SMG, making this the go-to gun for close-range fights. Next up, the Bullfrog, which is a very fun weapon to use and JGOD has in his top three for this season. Here is what he thinks is the best loadout for the gun. Bullfrog Season 5 Reloaded loadout Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Barrel: 7.4” Task Force – Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight – Stock: KGB Skeletal Stock – Ammunition: 65 Rnd – The key element in a lot of these short-ranged weapons is the number of bullets the gun has. Using the 65 Rnd mag on the Bullfrog allows the player to take multiple fights at a time. It has a longer TTK than some submachine guns but has the most damage per mag, putting it into JGOD’s top three. The last weapon that rounds off JGOD’s close-range meta is the Mac-10, a gun that the community has loved for a long time. This gun still remains at the top and this is what JGOD runs on it. Mac-10 Season 5 Reloaded loadout Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Barrel: 5.9” Task Force – Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight – Stock: SAS Combat Stock – Ammunition: STANAG 53 Rnd Drum – The Mac-10 has been in the meta for quite some time, with its high ammo capacity it’s one of the most versatile weapons in the short-game meta. JGOD says it’s still a great option because of its TTK being right next to the OTs. If you’re still struggling with close-range fights in Warzone then feel free to give one of these loadouts a spin in your next game.

JGOD responds to Warzone cheating & Cronus Zen accusations YouTube: JGOD/ActivisionWarzone YouTuber JGOD has laughed off accusations of cheating and using a Cronus Zen, poking fun at one of his accusers on Twitter. While Warzone is an immensely popular battle royale in the shooter genre, there’s one huge issue that’s damaging the game’s reputation and that’s cheaters. As players run into hackers almost every other game, it’s led the entire community to become extremely suspicious of pro players and YouTubers alike. This has led to countless accusations against huge names in the scene, from ZLaner to Swagg and now, even JGOD. After seeing the accusation in his comment section, the Warzone guru decided to address his accuser with a jokey response on Twitter. JGOD laughs off Warzone Cronus Zen accusations Taking to Twitter on October 4, JGOD shared a set of comments from a viewer, accusing him of cheating and using a Cronus Zen. According to the accuser, JGOD’s movement is blatantly suspicious, and his constant slide cancels is a direct indication that he’s using an external device to gain an advantage over other players. Not only that, he claims JGOD regularly uses semi-automatic weapons and somehow has a full auto fire rate. Instead of getting frustrated or angry at the accusations, the Warzone YouTuber decided to poke fun at the contradictions between both of the accuser’s comments. So are they talking about my aiming or not?🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/SYF0BmJwtF — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) October 4, 2021 Due to the abundance of cheaters in casual matches, accusations against Warzone personalities are at an all-time high. There are even dedicated YouTube channels that break down every frame of pro players’ gameplay. As a result, instead of getting angry, it’s obvious JGOD isn’t taking the accusations seriously and is looking at the funny side of it. Until Warzone gets the anti-cheat that was announced alongside Vanguard, it seems as if the fingers are going to be continuously pointed at streamers and YouTubers.

JGOD responds to ‘bot lobby’ criticisms of his $100K Warzone tournament JGOD/ActivisionPopular Call of Duty YouTuber JGOD hit back at criticism of his $100k Warzone tournament as some outsiders believed players were competing in ‘bot lobbies’ to boost their kill totals. Warzone tournaments have been getting bigger and bigger over the last year, with huge cash prizes being on the line for players who can impress the most in Verdansk. Each tournament usually has a different format and scoring system, but they usually follow a similar pattern of hopping into a public game and trying to beat your opposition’s kill total. Public lobbies, of course, present issues. You might run into cheaters or you might get blessed with a lower-skilled lobby that you can feed on and rack up huge totals in. JGOD’s recent $100k tournament also used public lobbies, and as the YouTuber showed that in one game that two teams racked up 139 kills, some outsiders tried to accuse them of purposefully changing something to get ‘bot lobbies’ given their combined K/D is off the charts. So, the YouTuber fired back and put some critics on blast. “This you with a 2.96 in a 0.86 Lobby dropping 22 Kills, just queuing up normally,” he said, exposing one critic who said these lobbies don’t “just randomly happen.” He also responded to another, saying: “When your 1st thought is to look up the lobby, you are never going to be happy. You should spend more time on improving.” When your 1st thought is to look up the lobby, you are never going to be happy. You Should spend more time on improving. — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) June 27, 2021 This you with a 2.96 in a 0.86 Lobby dropping 22 Kills, just queuing up normally.🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ “”doesn’t just randomly happen””https://t.co/bkytc2MeUD https://t.co/OzCAnu42xL pic.twitter.com/7iUj7zziIG — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) June 27, 2021 Complaints about high-skilled players playing in public lobbies will never end, and the solution may be to implement private matches for everyone. These worked in the World Series of Warzone event, but that was hosted by the devs themselves and was easier to organize as a result. So, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

JGOD highlights new RAAL MG Warzone loadout to “melt” through lobbies YouTube: JGOD / ActivisionWith Warzone Season 5 reintroducing the RAAL MG Light Machine Gun, popular YouTuber JGOD has rapidly thrown together the optimal loadout to help you “melt” through games across Verdansk and Rebirth Island. While the RAAL MG was originally available as ground loot in Warzone, the Modern Warfare LMG finally made its full arrival part-way through Season 5. Now, the beastly weapon is free for all to use and thus, build loadouts around. It may not be dominating the meta right away, but the RAAL MG is certainly no pushover either. If you’re looking for something new to test out or just want to mix up your LMG classes, there’s no good reason to overlook the latest option. Once you’ve unlocked the new gun and pushed through to the maximum weapon level, here’s JGOD’s optimal loadout to get you a leg up in Warzone. JGOD’s RAAL MG Warzone loadout Muzzle: RAAL Monocore – Barrel: 32.0” RAAL Line Breaker – Laser: Tac Laser – Optic: VLK 3.0x Optic – Underbarrel: FFS Oblique – First up, it’s worth noting how the RAAL MG functions in Warzone. As yet another Modern Warfare LMG, it comes with similar “drawbacks” to the likes of the PKM or the Bruen. That means the RAAL handles rather “slow” in terms of ADS speed and reload speed, but it does “hit pretty hard,” JGOD assured. The best way to help counter this sluggishness is through a Tac Laser. While it won’t completely overhaul the LMG, it provides that slight improvement to ADS speed which can be vital in the heat of combat. Next up, JGOD recommended against using any Ammunition attachments. While there is a 50 Round Belt, its benefits “just [aren’t] practical,” he explained. The base reload speed of the RAAL MG comes in at 7.5 seconds, with the smaller mag barely adjusting that hefty animation time. Therefore, your remaining attachments should focus elsewhere. JGOD honed in on the RAAL Monocore Muzzle which acts as a “Monolithic Suppressor that’s gonna give you range and bullet velocity.” Moreover, the YouTuber also added the 32.0” RAAL Line Breaker Barrel and the FFS Oblique Underbarrel for further bullet velocity and ADS speed improvements. Read More: Warzone update 1.41 patch notes – Last but not least is an Optic of your choosing. The VLK 3.0x Optic is a solid pick for all-ranges but the choice here is ultimately down to your preference. With this optimal loadout at the ready, a “fast Time To Kill” will help you “melt” through lobbies in no time.

JGOD proves why the “versatile” XM4 is Warzone’s best gun in Season 4 ActivisionCall of Duty: Warzone brought a whole new meta to the game in Season 4, but popular YouTuber JGOD thinks the XM4 is the game’s best gun. Breaking down XM4 loadouts, classes, and stats, he explains why it’s so strong. Some guns in Warzone excel in just one area. The Kar98k is an incredible sniper but inherently struggles at closer ranges, while the Nail Gun is broken close-range but weak from distance and in crowds. The XM4 though, much like its OG counterpart, the M4-A1, is nasty in a variety of ways. It’s been most popular as a close-range secondary, but Season 4 buffs have made it incredibly well-rounded. For those curious about a versatile secondary or a replacement for the soon-to-be-nerfed MG 82 LMG, JGOD breaks down why the Black Ops Cold War XM4 is the best gun in Warzone. And yes, he has the data to prove it. To explain why the XM4 is Warzone’s best “all-around” gun, JGOD broke down how it compares to other options as an SMG, a sniper support, and a long-range AR (primary AR). Easy evidence of its dominance as a secondary, JGOD showed that the XM4 has an even faster ADS than an SMG like the Cold War MP5. And for TTK, it’s even faster than the MAC-10 up to 15 meters, while faster than most SMGs past 22 meters. Versatile indeed. As a sniper support, the XM4 has a faster ADS than most other options (e.g. the RAM-7 and Cold War AK-47). For TTK, though, it’s slower than both the RAM and the AK, but the recoil and mag size benefits for the XM4 are worthwhile. Finally, for long range, the XM4 is an interesting option since its theoretical TTK rivals the AMAX and is faster than other ARs at a number of ranges. Overall, it’s clear that the XM4 can be a top-tier weapon at most ranges and for most purposes. This makes it a fantastic all-around gun that’s worth leveling up for people who want to mess with their loadouts and playstyles. If you’re looking for the SMG version, 100 Thieves Tommey has an excellent one you can use. But, if you want to keep experimenting, streamers and content creators like JGOD, Aydan, and HusKerrs all have classes you can try out.

JGOD predicts Warzone’s Fortune’s Keep map will mean big changes for Resurgence Activision/YouTube: JGODThe new Warzone map Fortune’s Keep was fully revealed on Monday, June 13, bringing a brand new slate of play to the Call of Duty battle royale. While excitement and anticipation is growing, JGOD predicts developers Raven Software will have some big changes to make. Hints started to drop about a new map coming to Warzone earlier in Season 3, with suggestions that Rebirth Island could be affected. The map was then revealed on June 13, with different POIs from Fortune’s Keep dropping regularly throughout the afternoon before it was finally shown off in full. While fans try to figure out how the map looks and how it might play out, as well as which drops will be the best, JGOD has been hard at work getting into the finer details already. After the full map was revealed, Warzone guru JGOD spent a considerable amount of time attempting to figure out roughly how big the new map is going to be. According to his final calculations, he expects Fortune’s Keep to be around 2 to 2.5 times bigger than Rebirth Island. This, he said, means some changes may be required to the ever-popular Resurgence mode. “The map is going to be about 2-2.5 times as big as our current Rebirth Island map,” he explained. “This leads me to believe that maybe they’re going to change the player count because I don’t feel like a map of that size will probably play that well, unless they modify how quick you respawn back in.” Since it launched, Rebirth Island has had a player count of just 40 players, a far cry from the 150 that was available in Verdansk and Caldera. A bigger map could mean that they’re wanting to give Resurgence players more space and time throughout the map with Fortune’s Keep, or they may well be trying to find a more comfortable middle ground between the small-scale Rebirth and the much larger Caldera. In JGOD’s view, this could mean bringing more players into the map to make it play out in a similar style — or a big alteration to the respawn system.

JGOD picks one Apex Legends feature Warzone desperately needs Activision / Respawn Entertainment / YouTube, JGODThe Call of Duty Warzone community has had a great debate over the right format for tournaments. Youtuber JGOD thinks that tournament organizers need to adopt a system that is similar to Apex Legend’s ranked one. Warzone has seen many different tournament structures. From head-to-head competitions to kill races, and people have debated which format works best. There has been huge controversies over which ones should be used and which should never be seen again in big tournaments. When events get announced the questions always revolve back to what format is being used for points. However, with more players trying out Apex Legends, people think that there may be a long-term solution to Warzone’s format issues. JGOD calls for Apex Legends’ system for Warzone tournaments With format still being a huge problem Warzone content creator JGOD wants to see a tournament with a scoring system that mirrors the one of Apex Legends ranked mode. In Apex, players earn points based on their placement and kills or assists. You earn one point for each kill or assist up to six and it gets multiplied based on what your final placement is. You also receive points for your placement. Interesting that Nobody has done a Custom Match WZ Tourney with a Point System similar to APEX Ranked with 3 Kill points per member instead of 6, then multiply by placement similar as well. 🤔🤔🤔 — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) August 12, 2021 For example using JGOD’s format, if a player has three kills and finishes in first place they would get their kill points multiplied by 25. So the team would get 75 points solely off kills and then add “X” amount of points for winning that round. This could put a new focal angle on how players would play each lobby. Once you max out your kill and assists points then players might want to sit back and play for placement points as well. One person replied saying Apex ranked is perfect. Honestly, ranked apex is just done right in regards to points — Lucky Chamu (@LuckyChamu) August 12, 2021 Other people in the comments suggested implementing a similar system and Ranked mode to Warzone so players can be grinding for something rather than just a K/D or wins. There has been no word from Activision on plans to add a ranked mode but with teases of an anti-cheat coming to Warzone it’s up there on player’s wish lists heading into Season 5.

JGOD picks best Warzone loadouts after Krig 6 nerf in Season 5 Reloaded JGOD / ActivisionWith the Krig 6 receiving a hefty nerf in Warzone’s Season 5 Reloaded update, Call of Duty content creator JGOD has revealed his top three loadouts. The Warzone Season 5 Reloaded update is finally live, which means Raven Software has nerfed a number of weapons. One of the biggest changes comes to the Krig 6, which has had its damage lowered and weapon kick adjusted. This has led to many Warzone players looking for a new AR to replace this once-dominant weapon. Fortunately, popular Warzone content creator JGOD has revealed three loadouts that could dominate after the recent weapon balance changes. Whether you’re looking to replace the Krig 6 or just wish to raise your KD, then these weapons will enable you to do just that. JGOD’s best Warzone Season 5 Reloaded loadouts Just like every Warzone update, JGOD has highlighted a number of loadouts that will likely become meta picks. This time the YouTuber has highlighted three ARs that could replace the Krig 6. Not only do all of these weapons deal great damage, but they also enable you to claim kills across long-range engagements. 1. QBZ loadout Attachments Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 16.5” Ranger – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip – Magazine: STANAG 60 Rnd Drum – 2. Stoner 63 Attachments Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 21.8” Task Force – Optic: Royal & Kross 4x – Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip – Magazine: 120 Rnd – 3. FARA Attachments Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Barrel: 18.7” Spetsnaz RPK Barrel – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Magazine: Spetsnaz 60 Rnd – Rear Grip: GRU Elastic Wrap – All of the above builds also utilize the meta MAC-10 loadout, which continues to dominate in close-quarters firefights. Make sure you use the build below to ensure you’re competitive across all engagement ranges: MAC-10 Attachments Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 5.9 Task Force – Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight – Stock: Raider Stock – Ammunition: STANAG 53 round drum – While the meta can still change as more players discover new options in the Season 5 Reloaded update, for now, JGOD’s top three picks certainly make a strong addition to any loadout.

JGOD makes early call on best Warzone 2 loadout from MW2 weapons DexertoWe are still two weeks away from getting our hands on Warzone 2, but CoD YouTuber JGOD already has a prediction for the game’s best gun. Warzone 2 releases on November 16. In the meantime, players can prepare by leveling up all 51 Modern Warfare 2 weapons. Make sure to check our guide on how to rank up fast in MW2 if you are struggling. Progression does not carry over from the original Warzone, meaning it’s time to discover a new meta for Warzone 2. We already have a slight idea of MW2’s best weapons after one week, but there is still a lot that can change. JGOD reached the max level on every MW2 weapon and crowned the RAAL MG as the best potential fully automatic Warzone 2 weapon. JGOD predicts RAAL MG will be best Warzone 2 weapon JGOD discussed the top 10 guns in Modern Warfare 2 and claimed the RAAL MG “will be the most dominant fully automatic when Warzone 2 comes out if nothing changes.” He argued that the deadly LMG takes two to three shots at any range to kill and is easy to use. The YouTuber went into the firing range and quickly dispatched all three test dummies with just 11 bullets using the RAAL. He argued that the LMG would dominate at range, unlike any other weapon in MW2. JGOD recommended, “if you haven’t unlocked this thing, I would spend some time unlocking this because this thing will be way too powerful once the full Warzone 2 map drops.” Here is JGOD’s full RAAL MG loadout: Muzzle: AP-390 Flash Hider – Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser – Optic: Cronen Mini Red Dot – Ammunition: .33 Mag High Velocity – You can level up the weapons in MW2 against bots or real players, so boot up an Invasion match and start leveling up the RAAL before Warzone 2 comes out.

JGOD highlights Warzone shotgun trick that makes them even more OP ActivisionWarzone guru JGOD believes there is a way to make shotguns even more OP than they currently are in-game, and it involves using a feature many players have forgotten about. Over the past few years, Warzone players have gone back and forth on what weapon type they believe is the most OP in-game. At times, assault rifles have ruled the roost, but it’s typically SMGs or LMGs that stand out as the most powerful weapons. However, shotguns have, at times, also made their case. The close-quarters weapons are typically strong shortly after a big update because a new attachment or ammo type has been added to propel them right to the top. No one will forget the Dragon’s Breath ammunition or Lockwood 300 double tap anytime soon. After the Season 1 Reloaded update, shotguns from Modern Warfare 3 and 2 took a bit of a step back in the Warzone meta, however, they can still be overpowered – especially with a feature that many players have forgotten about. JGOD highlights shotgun trick that makes them even more OP That’s all according to Warzone guru JGOD as he believes that the Tac-Stance mechanic makes for “cleaner ironsights, but that’s not all. “The other advantage is, when you slide, you can actually get into that (Tac-Stance), which is even more effective when you’re on auto tac-sprint. When you slide, you can close that distance versus when you’re sprinting, a lot of the time you’re going to have that sprint-to-fire time (effecting it),” he said. JGOD did note that some shotguns definitely “require more skill” to use than some other weapons, but it can give you a big advantage if you master it. Shotguns are always a solid secondary weapon option, meaning you can do the damage with something like an assault rifle before finishing the job off with close-range shots. As we know, though, the devs aren’t shy when it comes to nerfing shotguns into the ground, so if things become a little too powerful, then that won’t last long.

JGOD highlights Warzone 2’s “biggest flaw” and demands Apex Legends-like changes ActivisionWarzone YouTuber and statistician JGOD has pinpointed Warzone 2’s “biggest flaw”, claiming that it has him worried about the battle royale sequel following the CODNext event. After months of leaks, rumors and slowly building anticipation, the CoD community finally got hands-on with Warzone 2.0 at the CODNext event on September 15. The official reveal of the battle royale sequel – alongside next year’s annual installment Modern Warfare II – has fans incredibly excited. Amongst other things, the reveal gave us insight into a host of new mechanics like split storm circles, two player Gulags and overhauled Buy Stations known as The Shop. While the majority of feedback has been positive and players are eager to discover more, there have been some concerns raised by prominent community figures. Warzone expert JGOD, well-known for his in-depth analysis of the first CoD BR, has pinpointed the sequel’s “biggest flaw” and explained why it has him so worried for Warzone 2. JGOD pinpoints Warzone 2 looting as BR sequel’s “absolute biggest flaw” In a September 16 tweet, he commented that looting was “easily the least enjoyable part” of games on the new Al Mazrah map and that he hoped changes were in store. Expanding on his comments in a YouTube video, he pinpointed looting as the game’s “absolute biggest flaw”, explaining: “The looting system, I don’t mind that we have a bag but I think they should really compromise and find a place in the middle. His issues come with items stacking, meaning players’ items will become cluttered in their inventories and backpacks. While it is similar to other games, like Apex Legends, he said: “Apex feels infinitely smoother to actually use the items. And grab items and loot. It was infinitely easier [on Apex]. Blackout even had a system that felt better and more intuitive and less clunky. This thing needs a ton of optimization.” Timestamp: 9:28 He continued: “The inventory system does create a little bit of hiccups… but it just needs a ton of optimization… This thing was clunky as hell.” He went on to suggest changes to loot distribution and balance across the map, but did acknowledge that, as players learn the new map, this will naturally improve. It’s obviously early days for Warzone 2, but JGOD has plenty of concerns he wants to see Infinity Ward address moving forward.

JGOD highlights unfair Warzone aim assist advantage against stun grenades JGODCall of Duty content creator JGOD has revealed how broken controller aim assist is during Warzone’s stun grenade effect. While both PC and console have unique advantages in Warzone, there’s no denying how potent controller aim assist is in the popular FPS game. Whether it’s quickly snapping onto targets in the gulag or effortlessly slide canceling around Verdansk, controllers certainly have a lot going for them. While aim assist won’t make up for poor game sense and bad decision-making, it can give console players a huge advantage in certain scenarios. This is particularly true in situations where stun grenades are concerned. In fact, JGOD recently found that controller players have a significant advantage over their keyboard and mouse counterparts. JGOD reveals unfair aim assist advantage in Warzone While under the slowing effects of the stun grenade, the CoD YouTuber found that controller aim assist still enabled him to lock onto his target without the need to make any major adjustments. “See how much it gravitates towards him, it pretty much just locked on in a way,” noted JGOD. This same advantage is not mirrored by keyboard and mouse controls. In fact, JGOD found that he had to wrestle for control in order to track his target. “This isn’t really fair, this is a mechanic where I think [controller] is actually broken with aim assist. I don’t think controllers should get any aim assist when you get stunned.” As of the time of writing, controller players can accelerate that much faster when under the effects of stun grenades. Not only does this enable them to easily counter the stun grenade slow, but it also gives them a huge advantage over PC players. “It’s harder to track [on PC], you don’t get a lot of control, the movement’s delayed, and it’s very difficult,” says JGOD. Turning off aim assist on controller mirrored the same effects that keyboard and mouse players currently face, which made it a lot fairer than the current advantage controllers have in these conditions. Whether Activision will nerf this in a future update remains to be seen, but for now, it looks like there is no counterplay for PC players that have been hit by stun grenades.

JGOD highlights underrated LMG as potential king of Warzone 2 long-range meta ActivisionSome community members have anointed the Cronen Squall as Warzone 2’s best long-range weapon in Season 4 Reloaded, but JGOD suggested an alternative. Season 4 Reloaded shook up Warzone 2’s long-range meta. The devs adjusted every weapon’s damage profile to “emphasize accuracy in gunfights.” This change means some weapons can kill faster when fired more accurately and vice-versa. When you also take into account the increased health change, players need long-range weapons with an easy-to-control recoil pattern and fast time-to-kill speed. All eyes immediately turned to the Cronen Squall as the perfect combination of both, but JGOD offered up the RAPP H as a worthy contender. What is the best long-range meta weapon in Season 4 Reloaded? The Cronen Squall leads all long-range meta weapons with an 806 ms TTK speed. However, JGOD argued that recoil should factor into loadout decision-making just as much as TTK speed. “One of the most important stats is overall recoil and how easy that is to manage. For some people, the Cronen Squall might be incredibly difficult to use, but for others, it is relatively easy.” JGOD still wants more playtime and hasn’t seen enough people use it, but he believes the RAPP-H can give the Cronen Squall a run for its money. A 900 ms TTk speed ranks the Rapp H third among long-range meta weapons, and JGOD explained why it’s a meta weapon in Season 4 Reloaded. “The RAPP has a very good TTK, and the fire rate feels great. It is a little bit slower, but the fire rate is insane, so you can just laser and not even move.” Players must consider the LMG’s slow reload speed and mobility, though a fast fire rate and TTK make it a compelling option after the mid-season update. Best RAPP H Warzone 2 loadout Here is JGOD’s Rapp H loadout with attachment tuning included. Muzzle: TY-LR8 (+0.26, +0.28) – Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56 (+0.41, -0.26) – Ammunition: 7.62 High Velocity (-0.43, -5.81) – Optic: Aim OP-V4 (-2.03, +1.80) – Rear Grip: Lachmann TCG-10 (+0.65, +0.33) – If the RAPPH H isn’t exactly what you want in a long-range meta weapon, check out our best Warzone 2 loadouts.

JGOD highlights possible Warzone meta changes after Season 4 Reloaded update YouTube: JGOD/ActivisionPopular Warzone YouTuber JGOD has picked out a few weapons that could crack the meta following the Season 4 Reloaded update, including a resurgence for a Modern Warfare weapon. Over the past couple of Warzone seasons, the meta has been pretty much locked into a few different weapons. If you’re not carrying a KAR98, Mac-10, AMAX, or even a Grau, you’re probably not going to win. There have been a few changes made over time to try and shake things up, and while new weapons have appeared, those dominant ones are still the key to a win. Well, the Season 4 Reloaded patch has again brought about some weapon changes, and while the meta probably won’t see sweeping changes, a few weapons could get some love. Shortly after the update went live, Warzone content creator JGOD did a quick dive into the stat tweaks, and noted that there are plenty of changes to get your teeth stuck into, with almost every weapon seeing a time-to-kill change. As a result, he picked some weapons that could become widely used as players start changing things up. “I think for sure the FARA and C58 are still going to be up there. The QBZ might sneak up a little bit. The Groza had a little bit of a recoil change so maybe that’s going to be viable,” the YouTuber said. “Where I think it’s going to be a little weird is the SMG category. I might just go the Sykov full-auto because that’s pretty easy to use, you get an 80-round mag, your mobility sucks but it’s kinda how you’ve got to do.” The YouTuber also noted the Cold War MP5 is “definitely not going to be as dominant” as before but the biggest loser is the LC10. While the YouTuber is usually quick to have the go-to changes for the meta, he says that it’ll take time to see where the community lands.

JGOD highlights 3 key changes Warzone still desperately needs JGOD/ActivisionCall of Duty: Warzone guru JGOD has highlighted a few changes he’d still like to see made to the battle royale following the “ambitious” Season 2 update. It has been a few months now since the initial integration between CoD: Vanguard and Warzone, and while it hasn’t been completely smooth sailing, the developers have tried to figure things out. The Warzone Pacific Season 2 update, which dropped back on February 14, brought about some big changes to Caldera – both in terms of new mechanics and game-balancing – and they’ve seemingly been pretty popular to this point. However, Warzone stats guru JGOD is urging the developers to implement a few more changes, and they aren’t all that complicated to implement either. The Warzone content creator highlighted the changes he wants during his March 10 video, as he noted that Season 2 had been “ambitious” and a pretty welcome update. His first ask for a future change would be to bring the Rebirth Island gulag to Caldera. Why, you ask? Well, JGOD believes it is “fairly balanced” and should have been the standard. Additionally, he’d like to see the battle royale’s playlists opened up a bit more and give players a bit more of a choice. “They have given us more options to choose from than previously, but, I think they’re still missing the mark,” the YouTuber said. “By having the option for everything then you’d have the four modes for those (solos, duos, trios, and quads), and the four modes for Vanguard Royale. I think those should be permanent for both.” Timestamp of 4:20 On top of those two, JGOD would also like to see some more optimization changes made so that payers can go for more than “7-10 games’ before needing to restart. Obviously, as the developers keep things updated then some of those changes might come around, but they have the final say. So, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

JGOD exposes “world’s worst” cheater hit by Warzone anti-cheat live on stream Activision/YouTube: JGODA Warzone streamer has been accused of cheating after clips started to spread of him trying (and failing) to kill enemies, allegedly using aimbot, with his frustration growing after every single death. Now, streamers like JGOD are calling him out. Hacking has long been a massively frustrating issue in the Warzone community. It became so rampant that Activision eventually had to implement the RICOCHET anti-cheat system which, while it didn’t have an immediate significant impact, has helped drop the number of cheaters. That said, the issue hasn’t become completely obsolete as, just like in any other multiplayer game, cheaters are able to get in and ruin others’ fun. RICOCHET’s anti-cheat measures, though, don’t always simply block players from loading in, and when a player is suspicious, they start to implement measures before the cheater gets a full ban — and it incurs some hilarious reactions. One streamer, who many are accusing of cheating, was called out by popular Warzone wizard JGOD and Toronto Ultra streamer Royalize, showing a suspicious clip of the streamer as well as proof that his K/D had jumped from 1.2 to 5+ “overnight.” went from a 1.2 to 5+ literally over night. pic.twitter.com/fGlL0zrWaC — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) June 13, 2022 That wasn’t all, though, as more clips started to surface of the streamer hitting ‘suspicious’ clips. They all show the streamer, bustbeforetrust, hitting a lot of headshots, not missing any of his shots and, once RICOCHET caught on, his bullets simply doing no damage — a strong indication that the anti-cheat is operating against him. Bustbeforetrust responded to many of the tweets aimed at him, denying any allegations of cheating, attributing his improved skill to being a veteran player and a switch to PC. “Sir I don’t use aimbot think what you want IDC honestly I know my skill and potential,” he said. “Only words I have for you or any other hater is …. GET BETTER and stop being a broke a*s and buy a good PC.” At the time of writing, his Twitch channel is still live, despite pleas from community members to report and get him removed from the platform.

JGOD exposes Warzone hacker showing cheats in Twitch livestream JGODThe hacking problem in Warzone has reached new heights in Season 5, but it appears Call of Duty streamer JGOD has been busy taking Warzone bans into his own hands. Warzone’s hacking problem still continues to be a huge problem in Season 5, with certain players even going as far as streaming their hacks. Since the game’s launch, lobbies have been filled with aimbots and wallhackers. Not only do these players get an unfair advantage, but they also ruin the experience for everyone involved. In fact, the situation has gotten so bad that many hackers have even started streaming their cheats for the entire world to see. While Activision has stepped up its efforts in dealing with hackers, a lot of cheaters still go unpunished. However, Call of Duty content creator JGOD wasn’t prepared to let one brazen hacker continue his stream. JGOD exposes Warzone hacker Not saying you are, but how do you get player hitmarkers from Shooting Walls? https://t.co/j9Zh0MSQzj pic.twitter.com/IZL9x6RVMz — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) August 17, 2021 Hackers have been streaming their exploits in Warzone for a while now, with many of them streaming on Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok. These streams invariably pull in a large number of viewers, which demeans the hard work of ordinary streamers. After spotting that one streamer appeared to get hit markers from walls, JGOD began to delve deeper into the player’s stream. However, the suspected hacker quickly went on the defense and called JGOD out for his observation. “Your buggin’ that’s straight hits. Come on Discord @JGODYT, I’d love to have a chat.” After proclaiming that he wasn’t using hacks, a number of viewers began to request that the streamer show his task manager. The player agreed to share this on stream to prove that he wasn’t hacking, but as soon as he tabbed out of Warzone, the hacker immediately regretted his decision. The cheat overlay was instantly revealed in the background and a look of shock swept across the exposed streamer’s face. “Oh my god,” he said before putting his hand to his head and smiling. This move quickly led to the streamer’s account getting banned, proving that there is some justice when it comes to removing hackers from the game. With the announcement that Activision is ramping up its efforts to stop hackers, many players hope Warzone will soon be rid of this problem for good.

JGOD exposes “annoying” Warzone Fortune’s Keep UAV bug The Warzone Pacific Season 4 update and Fortune’s Keep made a strong first impression, but JGOD discovered a UAV bug that is affecting players on the new map. Warzone Season 4 made massive weapon adjustments, introduced the new map Fortune’s Keep, added back fighter planes, added in new Portable Redeoply Balloons, and more. NICMERCS went as far as saying that Fortune’s Keep is already better than Caldera, and the overall reception has been very positive for the new map. Amidst all of the excitement, Fortune’s Keep did not launch without its flaws. CoD content creator JGOD discovered a minor but annoying UAV bug that is affecting players on the new map. UAVs are currently bugged on Fortune’s Keep UAV is Killstreak that can be purchased from Buy Stations or found as ground loot in Warzone. Just as in multiplayer, UAVs ping the surrounding area and show red dots where enemies are located as long as they are not using the perk Ghost. Usually, a UAV’s ping starts at the center and pulses out for a fixed distance. JGOD discovered that on Fortune’s Keep, the UAV’s ping sweeps the whole map from west to east. UAVs are also Currently Bugged on Fortune’s Keep Caldera Starts at Center and Pulses Out for a Fixed Distance Rebirth (AUAV Shown) Starts at Center and Pulses Out for a Fixed Distance Fortune’s Keep Sweeps Whole Map from West to EastThoughts on the Bug? pic.twitter.com/bOno9op3Lm — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) June 23, 2022 The video above shows that on Caldera and Rebirth Island the UAV acts as originally intended, but on Fortune’s Keep the UAV functions with a different ping pattern. It is by no means a game-breaking bug, but it does create a delay for locating enemies to the east of your location. JGOD commented by saying “it is currently showing all enemies but it feels weird since it feels delayed if you are on the right side of the map. it is currently showing all enemies but feels weird since if feels delayed if you are on the right side of the map. — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) June 23, 2022 Raven Software may have intended for the UAV to ping from west to east on Rebirth Island but it was not included in the official Season 4 patch notes. We will provide an update on if a patch is made to the Warzone UAV bug but give them a try for yourself on Fortune’s Keep until then.

JGOD explores possible new Warzone Pacific map with free cam glitch ActivisionIn preparation for Season 1 of Vanguard, JGOD was able to use a free cam glitch to explore what could possibly be the new Warzone Pacific map. With Warzone Pacific’s Caldera on the horizon, the community has been itching for a chance the drop into the map and explore the island. Unfortunately, that will be later than expected as Activision announced that Season 1 and Vanguard integration has been delayed until December 9. However, Warzone guru JGOD may have discovered what part of the map looks like due to a spectator camera glitch. JGOD may have found new Warzone Pacific map As one of Warzone’s advocates, JGOD is always trying to get help out the community in any way possible. In a video he tweeted on November 20, he was able to use a free cam on Shipment to get out of the map and explore the Hawaiian island that the map is located. This has everyone wondering if it’s Caldera, the new Warzone Pacific map. Was able to use a spectator cam on shipment to see if we can get a sneak peak of Caldera. What do you think? #vanguard pic.twitter.com/CnCgcidtkP — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) November 20, 2021 While flying around Shipment’s island, you can see that a lot of the mountains look like one’s teased in pictures from Caldera. Also, we notice a building close by that looks like Resort, which is a rumored POI of the new map. He also comes across a bunch of ships that could be the confirmed POI Naval Shipyard Ore. Other parts were poorly rendered so it is hard to tell if this really is Caldera. Even though JGOD posted this clip, himself alongside Drift0r aren’t sold on this being true as they feel the layout isn’t matching up. I dont think so either, layout not resembling anything we have seen. — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) November 20, 2021 This could be because there is deep water that players would need to cross in order to reach the shipyard and swimming is not a mechanic that’s currently in Warzone, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be added. Also, it could have to do with how poorly the rest of the map looks as it probably isn’t intended to be flown around in free cam. For the rest staying hopeful though, maybe Shipment’s island is Caldera and the Gulag will be in there for people to battle it out for redeployment. Only time will tell, as Season 1 and the new Warzone Pacific will be in the game soon.

JGOD explains why you’re using the wrong suppressor in Warzone 2 JGOD/ActivisionJGOD compared the three best suppressors in Warzone 2 to decide once and for all which reigns supreme. Making a loadout in Warzone 2 can be an overwhelming and confusing experience. Players can equip five attachments at once, and tuning is a new feature that must be taken into account. Tuning allows players to tailor attachments specifically for different playstyles. For example, while editing an under-barrel attachment, you can focus more on recoil stabilization or aim down-sight speed. JGOD tried his best to simplify loadout building by revealing the best suppressor attachment in Warzone 2. What is the best suppressor in Warzone 2? JGOD compared the Zulu-60, Echoless-80, and Harbinger D20 to discover which muzzle is actually the best in Warzone 2. TheXclusiveAce originally tested all three attachments and found exact values for how they impact weapons. The Echoless-80 improves range by 14%, velocity by 30%, and slows down TTK by 86 milliseconds. The Zulu-60 improves range by 5%, velocity by 20%, and recoil by around 2-3% while suffering a 71-millisecond penalty. And finally, the Harbinger D20 improves range by 14%, velocity by 30%, and recoil by 3%. Most players have opted to use the Harbinger D20 on ARs since it offers the most benefits, but it also comes with the largest ADS penalty of 108 milliseconds. JGOD expanded on TheXclusiveAce’s stats by mentioning how much of an ADS strafe penalty each attachment adds. The Echoless doesn’t harm ADS strafe speed, while there is a 2.4% for the Zulu-60 and a 3.3% penalty for the Harbinger D20. “This is particularly important because when you are in a gunfight, the slower you are, you are an easier target to hit.” The YouTuber pointed out that Hisoka420 – the number one ranked player in Warzone 2 – uses the Harbinger D20, but admitted that he could use any of the three and still be the best in the world. “Using the Harbinger over the Zulu isn’t going to make you a god all of a sudden. The differences are very negligible, and it comes down to what your preferences are.” In the end, it turns out there really isn’t a wrong choice at all.

JGOD explains why Warzone would be better with Verdansk rules “I can’t enjoy Caldera” Activision / JGODSince Warzone traveled to the Pacific, players have gone back and forth over which map is better. Warzone guru JGOD gives his point of view of why Verdansk was better than Caldera currently is. Warzone bid farewell to Verdansk and welcomed Caldera on December 8 with the first season of the Pacific. While many fans have expressed how much fun the new map has been, others are still reminiscing on the old days of Verdansk. Warzone expert JGOD joined the debate, stating his case why the old map was better and even claimed that he “can’t enjoy Caldera.” JGOD reveals changes Caldera needs to be better than Verdansk In a YouTube video, JGOD was answering questions that fans sent in. When asked about his future in Warzone, he gave a very detailed answer. While JGOD said he never sees himself not playing Warzone, he does have a couple of major issues with Caldera that has kept him from grinding the new map as much. Even though the map isn’t what’s pushing him away it’s the mechanics and rules that he doesn’t like. “The rules, the vehicles… planes, I do not like. I would want to play with the exact rules we had the last day of Verdasnk on Caldera.” JGOD is in favor of the cash adjustments and the loadout drop change has grown on him. But he thinks the Vanguard aspects that have been added are ruining a potentially good map. However, he remains hopeful as the early stages of Verdansk weren’t super smooth either. “I think they will make a lot of changes to it over the current year just like they did in year two and year one.” Raven Software have outlined some massive changes coming up, so we will have to see if they are the ones JGOD had in mind.

JGOD explains why Warzone should still take more ideas from Apex Legends JGOD/ActivisionWarzone guru JGOD has explained why it’s fine for Call of Duty’s battle royale to nab some of Apex Legends’ most popular features, saying it should happen more often. As the battle royale genre has expanded over the years, game developers have been trying to one-up each other and stay ahead of their competition with the addition of new features and ideas. With some of the features being incredibly game-breaking, and adding a new element to the game, players don’t wait too long before wanting to see their battle royale of choice take inspiration from other. It has happened plenty of times over the last few years with loot vaults, player reboots, and beyond. With Warzone Pacific Season 2 on the horizon, Raven Software have taken a page out of Apex Legends’ book with redeploy balloons, and that’s a not bad thing according to JGOD. In his February 9 video, the Warzone guru was discussing all of the new features coming in Season 2 – including the Bombers, Armored War Machines, and new locations. When the announcement for the redeploy balloons came through, he immediately noted the similarity to Apex Legends, and not PUBG as some players first thought. “This is basically copy and paste from Apex Legends, and that’s ok!” he started. “I really wish Call of Duty would do more of that because there are so many instances where it’s like ‘lets try and reinvent the wheel’ but no bro, it works, let’s just do it. Unless you’re going to improve on it, which they often don’t, but I mean if somebody has perfected redeploy balloons, perfect.” Timestamp of 1:50 The YouTuber also touched on the Decontamination Station that is also being added to Warzone, which works like the Heat Shield from Apex. Though, that isn’t a straight copy paste as changes have been made. At the end of the day, battle royale devs are going to continue to be ‘inspired’ by their rivals, but make the features make sense for their game. So, expect to see more in the future.

JGOD explains why Warzone 2 Season 5’s short range meta is good thing ActivisionJGOD has good news for players that are sick of just using the Lachmann Sub and ISO 45 in Warzone 2 thanks to the Season 5 weapon balancing update. In the Season 5 update, Raven Software claimed: “Our main focus of these changes is and always will be to broaden gameplay options at every level of play.” So although the devs argued that they are “generally pleased” with the state of Warzone 2’s meta, a few changes have evened the playing field. Cronen Squall and Lachmann Sub nerfs knocked off the battle royale sequel’s two best weapons. Meanwhile, VEL-46, BAS-P, MX9, and Minibak buffs completely turned the game’s short-range meta on its head. So while players try to crown a new SMG leader, JGOD explained why it’s an almost impossible task. What is the best SMG in Warzone 2 Season 5? JGOD took matters into his own hands and tested every SMG’s new damage profile in Warzone 2 Season 5. The YouTuber concluded: “Almost nothing changed in the close-range meta.” For the weapons that received a buff, JGOD argued: “These changes weren’t enough, in my opinion, to move the needle on any of these in particular. It does make some of those options a little more viable.” Despite the Lachmann Sub and ISO 45 still appearing as the most dominant on paper. JGOD argued that Season 5 did wonders for the game’s close-range meta. “We are getting to a good spot where you can pretty much use whatever you want.” JGOD listed every SMG besides the Minibak and Fennec 45 as viable options in Season 5. Still, the YouTuber still has a few reservations about the MXP. Even though the SMG now has the third-best close-range TTK speed between 567 and 648ms, a 30-round magazine size holds the weapon back from competing with the top dogs.

JGOD explains why Warzone 2 plays ‘more like Apex Legends’ than CoD YouTube: JGODWarzone YouTuber JGOD explained why Warzone 2 needed more time and how it strays away from the traditional CoD Formula. JGOD began his YouTube career in 2017, and his popularity skyrocketed during Warzone’s heyday. The Warzone guru established himself as a go-to source for loadout guides and tip videos. He is passionate about CoD and unafraid to share his opinion on the negative aspects of the series. After playing the MW2 Beta, the CoD expert claimed MW2 developers misled players and criticized some of the game’s design choices. JGOD’s true bread and butter is Warzone, so he went into Al Mazrah optimistic but left with a jaded view. He explained why Warzone 2 feels closer to Apex Legends or PUBG, and why that decision won’t resonate with everyone. JGOD shares initial Warzone 2 review in JGOD’s latest YouTube video titled, “Warzone 2.0 feels like it needed more time,” he went over the game’s pros and cons. Some of the biggest pros mentioned include the look and feel of Al Mazrah, weapon balance, and proximity chat. “The overall weapon balance is in a really good spot, and I think a lot of that has to do with the fast TTK, which is a little bit of a negative, but the floor loot is able to shine.” Warzone 2 players complained about the game’s slower pace, and JGOD shared his thoughts on why community members may feel that way. “The intent of the gameplay loop is to make it closer to a battle royale experience, so this means playing a little bit closer to the battle royale elements of Apex Legends and PUBG. They have taken a few steps away from Call of Duty to get to PUBG. I’m not necessarily a fan of that, but it is what it is.” JGOD biggest gripes with Warzone 2 contribute to the game feeling slower. Sparse cash, spread-out Buy Stations, limited Strongholds, slow vehicles, and split circles are all bogged down matches, in his opinion. Some other cons were loadouts dropping too late into matches and the new backpack system not contributing enough to warrant its existence. It is certainly not all doom and gloom for Warzone 2, but JGOD believes a few key changes would go a long way in improving the overall experience.

JGOD explains why “stale” Warzone 2 is driving more players away in Season 2 than ever before YouTube: JGODSeason 2 Reloaded failed to impress Warzone 2 YouTuber JGOD, and he explained why the current experience is driving players away. Season 2 Reloaded started on March 15 in Warzone 2. The update finally nerfed the overpowered KV Broadside shotgun, removed bomb drones, and added every playlist option to Ashika Island. Though the mid-season update didn’t make any significant gameplay changes, and JGOD explained why Warzone 2 won’t return to its dominance until the developers massively shake up the battle royale’s formula. JGOD slams current state of Warzone 2 JGOD praised Season 2 Reloaded for improving audio and adding the St. Patricks Day-themed event but urged the developers to continue their commitment to both areas of the game. However, the YouTuber had plenty of negative feedback to give Warzone 2, post mid-season update. He argued Warzone 2 is “severely lacking” in replayability because “it has a very simplistic and rudimentary gameplay loop.” A typical game has a player loot, complete a Stronghold and Black Site, and then sit and wait in the circle for enemies to push in. JGOD believes there is not enough incentivization for squads to get aggressive, and gameplay mechanics make it even more challenging for players to deviate from the norm. “Since there are so many penalties for moving and TTK is as fast as it is, you can pretty much catch anyone.” “All of those variables tied together, you end up with a scenario where the game is just not a great space to play in, and that’s unfortunate, and that’s maybe why people walked away.” As for Warzone 2’s meta, JGOD argued most players use the ISO Hemlock or a few other weapons, but there isn’t much room for variation. JGOD remains optimistic for Season 3, as the developers teased movement and TTK changes, and one-shot sniping is returning.

JGOD explains why Nikita and M1916’s “fatal flaws” make them so bad in Warzone Activision, JGODDespite not being available all that long, Warzone expert JGOD has spent plenty of time with the new Season 3 guns and believes that whilst the Nikita and M1916 are usable, they “don’t fit in.” Warzone’s Season 3 update has proven to be a big one with sizable changes made to many of the game’s established guns with long-time Sniper Rifles such as the ZRG 20mm and HDR now stepping up to the plate to try and become top dog. Whereas the meta is being shapeshifted by some guns, the new Nikita AVT and M1916 weapons are trying to break into it. JGOD is well-known for his breakdown and analysis of Warzone’s weapons: their recoil, firing pattern, and more. He’s spent time with the new weapons since the latest season’s launch and doesn’t think too highly of the latest batch of weaponry. Warzone’s Nikita AVT & M1916 won’t be meta? The M1916 is a Marksman Rifle and the Nikita AVT is an Assault Rifle and JGOD has spent his fair share with both guns to test them out properly and fairly. He maxed out both weapons and said: “These weapons are not particularly great, I would say that “are they usable?” 100% they are usable. I think they can be a little bit fun, a little bit more challenging, but they have some fatal flaws.” JGOD continued: “Even after the weapon balancing that kinda nerfed a bunch of stuff these things [Nikita and M1916] still don’t necessarily fit in competitively or ultra high-tier viable, they are definitely viable, but there’s a couple of things we’ll talk about.” JGOD says the Bullet Velocity of the M1916 is low “which is not a good thing” for a weapon of its class. He also thinks its low fire rate places it on the more unforgiving side of things, leaving the M1916 as a fun distraction but ultimately “not really all that practical.” As for the Nikita AVT, JGOD believes that its “TTK is ok,” but low Magazine options reduced its effectiveness as its damage output isn’t all that high. He also alludes to the Nikita’s recoil pattern saying: “They will probably adjust the recoil pattern on this because it’s just not good in anything particular.” The Warzone personality had essentially built these two new guns to be as strong as they can be but thinks that there are better options out there for you if you’re chasing the game’s ultimate meta options.

JGOD explains why Modern Warfare 2 spawn system needs to change YouTube: JGODThe Modern Warfare 2 Open Beta ended on September 26, and JGOD gave his final review after extensive playtime. While there were some positives as well, the analyst believes the spawns are in dire need of an overhaul. As the dust settles from Modern Warfare 2’s Open Beta, players have over a month to collect their thoughts and offer feedback. For some, Infinity Ward’s first-person shooter left a sour taste in their mouth, but for others, the game has the potential to be “really good.” Popular Warzone YouTuber JGOD lands somewhere in the middle. He went through an extensive list of pros and cons and brainstormed solutions to his issues with the game. Modern Warfare 2’s mini-map changes top most players’ cons list; However JGOD, believes the true culprit is the game’s spawn system. What is squad spawning? In JGOD’s latest YouTube video, he reviewed Modern Warfare 2’s Open Beta and broke down his experience from the two beta weekends. Modern Warfare 2 removed red dots from the mini-map, and player dots only appear when a UAV is active. In previous CoD titles, a red dot would appear if an enemy fired a weapon without a suppressor. Players bashed the decision, but Infinity Ward doubled down, stating, “we do not want to punish players for firing their weapons.” Contrary to consensus, JGOD believes removing player dots would be a non-issue if the game’s spawn system was better. “If the spawns actually worked as you would expect, the mini-map wouldn’t be an issue, but Modern Warfare introduced a squad spawn system which uses irregular spawns and logic.” In the squad spawn system, players respawned near their teammates, no matter where their squad or enemies were on the map. Every previous CoD game used set spawn points, and players would come back into the game based on enemy locations. JGOD argued squad spawns disrupt the flow of matches and add an unnecessary layer of complications. “They have literally copied and pasted it (squad spawns,) and they have made no acknowledgment of their crappy spawn system,” he insisted. CoD Vanguard used squad spawns but removed them after complaints from players and the Warzone YouTuber wants Infinity Ward to follow suit for Modern Warfare 2.

JGOD explains why Modern Warfare 2 reveal has him “nervous” about Warzone 2 JGOD/ActivisionWarzone guru JGOD has revealed that he’s a little “nervous” about Warzone 2 due to the focus on realism being pushed by the devs as he’s got concerns about new mechanics. After Infinity Ward and Activision finally confirmed that Modern Warfare 2 would be the 2022 release for Call of Duty, the community has been abuzz with excitement about it. The hype only increased on June 8, when players finally got their first look at actual gameplay with the campaign reveal. Plus, on top of that, a number of CoD YouTubers and streamers were able to share some of the early answers they’d got about changes to multiplayer and even Warzone 2. While many fans are excited to see what comes next, JGOD has revealed that he’s got a bit of nervousness about Warzone 2, and he’s desperate to get some hands-on. In his June 8 video, the Warzone stats guru revealed that he’d been invited to check out Modern Warfare 2 early and put some questions to Infinity Ward over the changes they’ve made to the game since MW 2019. While the YouTuber shared his excitement for some of the Gunsmith changes, new movement mechanics, and new equipment, he does harbor some concerns. “They’re going for a lot of realistic things, sometimes, like I said, to a fault,” he said about some of the changes. JGOD noted while players will now be able to swim, and even fight underwater, that may create some headaches. As it stands, players are only able to use pistols or knives in water fights, so if they’re running two primary weapons with Overkill then they’re “at a huge disadvantage.” The YouTuber did, however, give props to the devs for taking player feedback on board, but noted more details will come out about that before long. He did also note that he’ll have to get hands-on with the game in a later build to see how things truly shake out.

JGOD explains why Modern Warfare 2 patch notes have him “nervous” for Warzone 2 ActivisionWarzone gun guru JGOD has explained why the latest Modern Warfare 2 patch notes have him nervous for Warzone 2 due to the lack of description. Just a week after launch, developers Infinity Ward have rolled out the first of many updates for Modern Warfare 2 — fixing numerous performance issues and patching several game-breaking bugs. Besides the few fixes, no significant changes were made and overall the lack of detail in the patch notes is a cause of concern for some. Popular Warzone YouTuber JGOD has explained why the lack of description in the latest patch notes has him “nervous” for Warzone 2 JGOD expresses concerns for Warzone 2 In JGOD’s most recent November 4 video, the YouTuber went over the new Modern Warfare 2 patch, where he outlined his worries for the future. “They finally put out some patch notes for week one and I’m a little nervous if this is how they’re going to be doing patch notes because they’re very not descriptive,” the YouTuber said. JGOD noted that the update was similar to what we saw in MW 2019, overall lacking detail, and if it’s anything to go off, we’ll be seeing some under-the-radar changes that won’t make it into the patch notes going forward. “They don’t really explain much and in general they’re not very descriptive and it has me a little nervous of what little subtle things they’re gonna do. For Modern Warfare 2019, Infinity Ward was very hush-hush and had a lot of stealth changes that didn’t make it in the patch notes.” He added: “So it already makes me a little bit nervous about Season 1 or Warzone 2 / DMZ coming up on November 16.” For gun experts like JGOD, the random stealth updates makes his job much harder when it comes to analyzing weapon stats and providing the best loadouts for his fans. Throughout MW 2019’s life cycle, the developers were heavily criticized numerous times for number of “unhealthy” stealth patches that were released. With Infinity Ward also being the ones behind Warzone 2, hopefully, it won’t adopt the same style with patch notes.

JGOD explains why landing headshots rarely matters in Warzone Season 4 ActivisionSeason 4 made obvious changes that impact Warzone’s meta but, underneath the surface, also weakened SMGs, and no one is talking about it. Warzone Season 4 increased base operator health from 100 to 150, bringing maximum health up to 300 for a player that is fully armored. This means it requires more shots to eliminate an enemy, which slightly slows down the game’s time-to-kill speed. On paper, the update makes it slower for every weapon to down enemies and puts more onus upon the player to land all of their shots. However, Season 4 indirectly nerfed and buffed specific weapon classes in a way you won’t find on any patch notes. JGOD unearthed a secret nerf to the entire SMG class after the most recent seasonal update. SMGs indirectly nerfed in Warzone Season 4 update Using statistics provided by TrueGameData, JGOD used Lachmann Sub (MP5) TTK stats to prove that the SMG class received a stealth nerf in Season 4. Usually, in FPS titles, headshots deal the most damage. However, at point-blank range, the max armor damage for the Lachmann Sub is 30. JGOD explained that this number used to be in around the 40s for SMGs. So, no shot does more than 30 damage, irrelevant of what extremity they hit with a shot. Bullets deal the same amount of damage to the head, body, arms, and legs. “No matter where you are shooting at somebody in the first damage range, headshots will not matter.” Even from 8.9 meters away, Lachmann Sub headshots only do a maximum of 30 damage compared to 23 for lower extremities. It’s a significant difference, but JGOD believes it still diminishes the return of hitting difficult shots. “Headshots do matter, but not quite as much as they were before.” It doesn’t also doesn’t help SMGs that the KV Broadside saw its 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath attachment close-range damage increase slightly in Season 4. The buff vaulted the controversial weapon back into relevance. “Because SMGs got nerfed quite a bit as a result of this, shotguns have closed the gap.” JGOD reassured SMG users that only one or two shotguns are “really good,” but none are “super broken,” and the class still suffers from range limitations. It will be worth keeping an eye on if players stick with SMGs or start going back to shotguns over the course of this season.

JGOD explains why he won’t ditch Warzone for Apex Legends like other fans Respawn Entertainment / YT: JGODPopular Warzone YouTuber JGOD has explained why he’ll be sticking with the Call of Duty battle royale, rather than making the switch to Apex Legends like a number of other prominent content creators. Warzone’s popularity has been tempered in some respects by its struggles with hackers and glitches. It has even led to a number of content creators branding Warzone ‘unplayable’, and dropping it in favor of Apex Legends – Respawn Entertainment’s battle royale. We’ve seen CouRage, TimTheTatman, NICKMERCS, and more make the transition to Apex Legends, praising the game for its vibrancy and energy as they seek to escape Warzone’s hacking epidemic. However, in a number of tweets from August 6, Warzone YouTuber JGOD explained why he won’t be joining them in making the move. The discussion started when an Apex player asked for recommendations over the best data-driven YouTuber for Respawn’s BR. While JGOD’s content is fairly diverse, he always seeks to use data and statistics to substantiate his videos. However, the YouTuber stated that he has no desire to drop into Apex, even calling it a “looting simulator” when asked if he’d switch. “Zero interest in that game. It’s a looting simulator,” he tweeted. The major looting difference between Apex and Warzone is the cash system, allowing players to get their own loadouts and go from there, rather than relying on RNG. He stated that RNG is why he never liked BRs before Warzone came along, and said that Warzone’s hacking problems are not intentional, as opposed to Apex’s reliance on looting. His comments won’t wash with many fans of Apex Legends, who view looting as a key aspect of Respawn’s battle royale. It’s true, though, that Warzone’s loadout drop and currency system puts more control in the hands of players, something JGOD enjoys and feels benefits the CoD spin-off. If only they can get a handle on the hacking situation as well.

JGOD explains why Cold War weapons are better in Warzone than Vanguard guns Activision / JGODThe launch of Warzone Pacific brought with it a boatload of weapons integrated from CoD Vanguard. While the new guns have worked a treat in Caldera, CoD YouTuber JGOD has revealed why players should consider switching to the Black Ops Cold War roster. The integration of CoD Vanguard into Warzone came with a huge new slate of weapons, many of which have become Caldera staples. The STG44 has dominated the Assault Rifle scene, and the MP40 is the SMG of choice for many. But while players have understandably been eager to try out the new lineup of guns, that’s not to say that some of the old faithful can’t still hold their own. There are still Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War weapons to choose from. In fact, according to CoD expert JGOD, Cold War weapons are more effective on Caldera than Vanguard’s, and he’s explained why. JGOD on why Cold War weapons work in Warzone Speaking in a recent upload to his channel, the YouTuber revealed that Cold War guns have a “huge advantage” over the new additions, that “a lot of people haven’t talked about. He said it’s all down to the bullet velocity that BOCW weapons produce. “Normally when you go to build your meta builds, a lot of the time for long-range you want the bullet velocity to be anywhere between 1,000 to 1,200 m/s,” he said. “There are some guns that go a little bit above that, but it’s not usually the case.” “Usually anything below 900 or sits around 900 is a little less favorable, it gets a little harder to use. You have to lead your shot a little more which makes it difficult to be consistent, even if the gun has very low recoil. He goes on to say that outside of a handful of exceptions in the LMG category, such as the Bren or Type 11, this is an issue that Vanguard weapons suffer with. Meanwhile, with the right attachments, many of the BOCW Assault Rifles like the AK-47 can have a bullet velocity well over a thousand. As JGOD suggested, this makes them far more reliable at range. He also added that some of Modern Warfare’s weapons are still extremely useful, because of this bullet velocity mechanic. Given that Caldera is made up of plenty of open spaces, long-range fights have become more and more common in Warzone. So using an automatic weapon that can hold its own in a frantic shootout at a distance is vital for success. It’s well worth taking the YouTuber’s comments on board the next time you’re fiddling around with your loadouts. They may have been around the block a few times, but the BOCW weapons still pack a punch in Caldera.

JGOD explains why Battlefield 2042 won’t be the Warzone killer YouTube: JGOD/EABattlefield 2042 has been hyped up as some to be the ‘Warzone killer’ that might finally see the EA franchise overtake Call of Duty. However, popular YouTuber JGOD isn’t too sure about that. With E3 in full swing, game developers from across the globe have been dropping announcements, teasers, and gameplay reveals for what they’ve got coming down the pipeline. Battlefield 2042 has, undoubtedly, drawn the biggest hype of the lot, with its stunning gameplay teaser capturing the excitement of many gamers and content creators. With it being a Battlefield game, it naturally draws comparisons to Call of Duty, and in this day and age, Warzone. Some fans believe BF 2042 could be the final nail in the coffin for Warzone – if Raven Software don’t make some big changes – but JGOD believes the CoD battle royale has a significant ace up its sleeve. After watching the Battlefield 2042 gameplay trailer, the Call of Duty YouTuber was left impressed by what he’d seen – even though he did want to see some more gunplay to see how the weapons reacted. As he was wrapping things up, he got onto the topic of BF 2042 vs Warzone. “I think they’ve still got a long way to go to convince me that this is the CoD killer, I don’t see it from this,” JGOD said, before getting around the ‘Warzone killer’ hype. “Even if Warzone continues to have tonnes of hackers, I don’t really see this killing it because this isn’t free-to-play,” he continued, adding that many players simply won’t try Battlefield because you have to buy it and there are other free-to-play options out there. Timestamp of 6:00 “Unless they drop a BR in the first quarter that’s free-to-play, it’s going to be very hard for this to steal away that audience because it’s a paid game, which many people think it’s way too much to pay $70 for a game as it is,” the YouTuber added. In terms of alternatives, JGOD suggested that Halo could be pretty popular given that its multiplayer is going to be free-to-play, but Battlefield is still impressive. No one will know if he’s right until BF 2042 launches later this year, but he might be on the right lines.

JGOD explains Warzone perk every player needs to change in their loadout JGOD/ActivisionWarzone guru JGOD has explained why players should ditch the Heartbeat Sensors and change up their perks and equipment as there is a much better way to go about things. Over the past couple of updates, Warzone’s arsenal of perks and equipment has gone through some pretty drastic changes. At one point, you couldn’t drop into a game and hope to score a win without using a Heartbeat Sensor or equipping the Cold-Blooded perk, but that’s changed. With the Season 2 Reloaded update, many top players started adopting the newly-buffed Restock and Quick Fix perks on certain classes, as those changes allowed them to be even more aggressive when taking fights. Although the Season 3 update didn’t shake up the perks and equipment meta, Warzone Guru JGOD has highlighted the fact that players should probably do away with their old setups, especially if they’re still running Heartbeat Sensors. In his May 10 video, the Warzone veteran noted that players can ditch the Heartbeat Sensors and run Snapshot Grenades with the Restock perk instead as there is no counter. “The Snapshot Grenade does a full cylinder, vertically up to infinity with a diameter of 25-ish meters,” the YouTuber said, talking about the perk’s power. “Despite what you’d believe, in terms of Battle Hardened helping out, it still gives away your position.” JGOD also stated that things become really “broken” when Restock is equipped and you’re playing something other than solos, just because of regeneration time. “If you’re in duos, you’re going to be able to throw one every 12 seconds. In trios, you’re going to be able to do this every eight seconds. You can just walk around the map and constantly throw these,” he added. While the grenades are “broken” in solos, the YouTuber noted that they are still “very good” to use if you’re timing them correctly and playing aggressively. As per WZRanked stats, the Snapshot Grenades are the most popular bit of equipment in the battle royale, but Restock is still lagging behind Ghost and Overkill in usage. Though, that might change before long once players realize just how good they are as a duo.

JGOD explains what Warzone ranked needs to take from Apex Legends Activision/YouTube: JGODRanked mode is a heavily requested addition to Warzone. NICMERCS explained why Apex Legends and Fortnite mobility mechanics would be vital for a successful Warzone ranked mode. Apex Legends ranked consistently draws in players from other battle royale games at the start of each season. Surprisingly after two years, Raven Software has not tested a ranked mode for Warzone. Call of Duty leaker Hope revealed that a Warzone ranked mode may be coming soon. CoD YouTuber JGOD suggested that Call of Duty take notes from how Apex handles its ranked mode. JGOD explains why Warzone should mimic Apex’s ranked mode In JGOD‘s YouTube video, he went over Hope’s leak and what it means for the future of Warzone. The leak suggests a “ranked mode for current Warzone is coming before Modern Warfare 2 releases.” JGOD likes how Apex Ranked separates players based on skill level and the Apex Legend list, which only features 750 players on each platform. The YouTuber wants a similar list in Warzone for players to grind. Another positive takeaway from Apex is its fluid structure. JGOD lauds the Apex Legends developers for testing different changes. For example, other point systems, changes to kill points and placement points, and how high you need to place or how many points you lose per match. “Apex has the better-ranked mode model,” JGOD said. “I think if Call of Duty is smart, they should look at what Apex has done and take the best of those iterations because Apex has changed its structure a dozen times or so.” Adding a Warzone ranked mode also opens the door for content creator tournaments and LAN events that help build the community and bring new players to the game. JGOD noted, “Ranked mode solves one of the biggest issues that Call of Duty and any game tries to solve, and that is player engagement.” Warzone players often question Warzone’s anti-cheat system, a heavily reported issue in Season 4. JGOD believes that a Warzone ranked mode would force developers to improve its anti-cheat system. The YouTuber said, “They will have to make improvements to the anti-cheat, which will help the casual player base.” a Warzone ranked mode is not yet officially confirmed, so take this leak lightly. We will provide updates on the potential addition.

JGOD explains how subtle Warzone centering trick can massively boost your K/D Twitter, @JGODYT / ActivisionCall of Duty: Warzone is funner when you kill enemies more than they kill you. Fortunately, JGOD has broken down the most slept-on pro player skill that can be used to improve your K/D: centering. There are usually three things people notice when watching talented, high K/D (kill-death ratio) Warzone players: aim, movement, and game sense. Good players hit shots, move like demons, and understand where everyone is. That can make it seem like those are the three most important skills to work on, but there’s one subtle skill that blends aspects of each: crosshair placement, or, more specifically, centering. While players hoping to improve often practice their jump shots and recoil control, many don’t think about where their crosshair is placed at all times. As JGOD shows using a variety of clips (including from pros like Tommey and DougIsRaw), being consistently conscious of your centering can make a massive difference. How to improve your Warzone K/D with proper centering In JGOD’s video, he goes through various examples to demonstrate the importance of centering. While he and Tommey have strong moments, DougIsRaw seemingly puts everyone to shame. At about 3:52, you can see Tommey drop down a level and readjust his crosshairs to center on a target in the stairwell. But at about 13:09, you see DougIsRaw make the same play, except mid-drop, he preemptively lifts his crosshairs so that they’re at chest level aimed at the stairwell by the time he lands. The examples, and others — most prominently from Call of Duty League pros — show how simply keeping your crosshairs centered can win fights. It’s more than just pre-aiming a doorway, it’s about maintaining the height of your crosshair while moving so that you’re able to hit shots without much adjusting at all times. The best examples of this in Warzone aren’t just moving around corners and checking doorways though, they come in moments where you’re changing floor. When Doug drops down a ladder, he looks forward (rather than down) so that he can hit torso and headshots as soon as possible. BAG SECURED 💰@Jukeyz, @Fifakill_, and @WarsZ slayed out & have won the $300K Twitch Rivals EU Customs. pic.twitter.com/XHldfMmIP0 — Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) August 4, 2021 And the biggest culprit for casual Warzone players is going up stairs. When you go up a stairwell, you shouldn’t run up and then turn around, you should walk up the stairs backwards so that you’re already aimed at whoever is waiting for you. Tips like these all center around proper centering and all can make a major difference. That’s what makes conscious crosshair placement the simplest, surprisingly effective tip to increase your Warzone K/D.

JGOD explains how Serpentine perk could be OP in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded ActivisionWarzone specialist and YouTuber JGOD has explained the only way in which the perk Serpentine can be ‘broken’ in the CoD battle royale, dispelling rumors that it is completely overpowered in Season 3 Reloaded. One of the main innovations of Call of Duty: Warzone was conflating multiple titles’ content in one place. As a result, perks, weapons, and equipment from Modern Warfare, Black Ops Cold War, and Vanguard are all available in the battle royale. Season 3 Reloaded also dropped on May 25, bringing with it a new perk in the form of Serpentine. As it works in Vanguard, Serpentine reduces incoming damage from bullets, fire, and explosives by 20%, so long as the user is sprinting. Initial reactions were mixed, with some denouncing Serpentine as overpowered because of the hefty reduction in damage it offers. However, adding to counter-currents is JGOD, who explained in a June 1 YouTube video that it is only really “broken” in one scenario. Firstly, Serpentine is in the Perk 1 category, which already has a host of strong options like EOD, Double Time, and Cold-Blooded. Secondly, the Serpentine damage reduction only applies to base health and not Armor Plates. As a result, it’s only at its most effective in Iron Trials (which is not currently in Warzone, but does seem likely to return in the future): “Personally I think there’s almost no reason to use Serpentine in the current mode… I think where it will be very powerful and could even be meta is within Iron Trials where you get an extra bit of health.” Iron Trials players get extra health (up to 250), meaning Serpentine will allow them to take an extra 2 or 3 bullets while sprinting, rather than one extra bullet in normal modes. Unfortunately, Iron Trials is a LTM and comes and goes from Warzone as per Raven’s wishes. We’re certain it will return soon and, when it does, drop in with Serpentine and tank those extra enemy shots.

JGOD explains how rumored CoD 2023 delay could “ruin” Warzone YouTube: JGOD/ActivisionCall of Duty stats guru JGOD has given his take on the rumored CoD 2023 delay as he believes it could have dire consequences for Warzone. As Call of Duty fans have grown increasingly frustrated with the state of CoD: Vanguard, many have been looking to the future and what the next release is rumored to bring. That next release is reported to be Modern Warfare 2 – a follow-up to 2019’s soft reboot of the Modern Warfare series – but beyond that, Call of Duty is set to go down a new path. Bloomberg reported that the 2023 title will be delayed, meaning there will be a gap in the usual annual release cycle for CoD. There have been rumors that the gap will be filled by a new free-to-play title – with many suggesting that it could be Warzone 2. However, if that is to be the case, YouTuber JGOD has some concerns. In his February 24 video, the Warzone stats guru compiled some of the recent leaks and rumors about the future of Call of Duty and Warzone, and what it could mean. JGOD suggested that if the annual release cycle is broken, Warzone could be left in the dust. “I don’t think [Modern Warfare 2] will be integrated into Warzone at all,” he said. “And that means you’re not gonna get really any new content for Warzone 1.” The YouTuber suggested that there will be almost “no new content” for Warzone before Warzone 2 releases which could leave the game in “a kind of limbo” for a while. As JGOD noted, his take on things is based on rumors and speculation, and there is nothing set in stone. Though, he does make a good point. The devs are unlikely to focus on Warzone while building a new battle royale experience, so players could be left to fester. If that was to be the case, players would likely find ways to keep themselves entertained with Warzone, but plenty of others could ditch it for other battle royales. Though, we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
